I have custom colouring in the section headings, i.e. \section{\textcolor[red]{Heading}}, so when I use \tableofcontents it prints the table of contents including all the unnecessary colouring. Is there a way I can print the table of contents in all black text, but keep the actual colour coding I did for the sections?

Use the "ToC" entry of \section[<ToC entry>]{<body entry>}:

\section[Heading]{\textcolor{red}{Heading}}

If this is performed on a case-by-case basis, then the above solution is fine. However, for more consistent changes across (say) all section headings, you should consider using a package like sectsty or titlesec. For more on this option, see Is it possible to change text color for all headings?

Looks like this is the only solution anyone can think of, BUT I also thought of a sneaky solution just now :)! Print the TOC in black and white, and the rest in colour!! :D Thanks for your solution! – Dan Nov 10 '12 at 1:22
