Just to be clear, a template image should not be black and white. It should be black and clear. Or, more accurately, the only thing that matters is the alpha channel. If you use a proper template image in a button whose showsStateBy includes NSChangeBackgroundCellMask, it will show a blue effect when the button's state is NSOnState. (You don't normally explicitly set the showsStateBy of a button's cell, although you certainly can. Usually you set a button's type in IB or via -setButtonType:. For example, set it to NSToggleButton.) I typically use Round Textured / Toggle buttons and Textured Square segmented controls in a toolbar with template images. They look correct on Yosemite.
