isn´t "living colour" a notion of Clontech? but do you mean fluorescence tagged Ab´s such as Alexa-Fluor-tagged Ab´s? they are useful to detect targets in tissues and cells by fluorescence or confocal microscopy

Living colors - fluorescent proteins

Its useful for live cell imaging especially if you want to track proteins fused with these fluorescent markers or by using organelles specific markers to follow movement.
