The Sin City movie took the splashes of color in a black and white world from the comics, which took the look from many previous movies, several of which have been named here. Raging bull is another. It was bing done in other more subtle ways long before the technology existed to do it digitally. The woman in a red dress at a black and white ball is the same idea, but done more subtlely.

There are turn of the century movies that used a mixture of color and black and white for effect. Scenes from Intolerance IIRC, were tinted for emotional effect some 90 years ago. I love Sin City, I've seen it twice. But nothing in it is original or new, just older ideas done very well and with panache, style, and energy.
