My playstaion from america does seem to go to color on a english uk tv. Does anyone know how to configure it?

May be...

to play in color thanks

If you're saying what I think you're saying, your PS3 is configured in NTSC (this is used in America). It needs to be PAL (Europe). Unfortunately, you can't change this but I think that it might not make a difference if you connect your PS3 to your TV with HDMI. Is your TV standard definition?
