Either the cable is bad or the connection is bad or it's not put on tight.

@hang-the-9 seems like thats not the problem
althought i just noticed something stranged happend.
when i plugged the displays in for the first time, every single of them showed color.
after a restart, my second monitor didn't show any color.
left for a minute, came back with my second monitor with color, but my tv without any color.

and i checked the cables of any were loose or something, but they aren't

7850 will need one active display adapter to do three screens I believe. Pretty sure I helped out a online friend with a 7850 and three portrait displays for gaming.

Also others depending on what connection type you need.

yeah i do have an active display adapter, and im actually using that exactly one.
i just updated my software of the AMD CCC, it does show color now, but the display on my tv doesn't fill the entire screen...

*edit: my setup is like this btw: 1 DVI, 1 HDMI and 1 MiniDisplayPort Adapter to DVI
