Throughout life, everywhere we go and just about everything we’re involved with , we’re surrounded by and immersed in colors. Colors are everywhere you look! – Only difference is – some of us notice them – while others pass them by without paying much attention. Some are vivid and stand out, while others are mild and blend in – From the material things around us each day such as cars we drive to the clothes we wear. God’s gifts or Mother Nature’s gifts of color are most impressive – including sunshine, sky, water (lakes, rivers, ocean), sandy beaches, trees, hills, grass, plants, animals, rainbows, night time, 
elements of weather, etc. We are enveloped by this. So, with this in mind, I considered compiling a list of songs relating to “COLORS” – from my extensive music collection (both hard copy as well as digital). I had no idea that this list would keep going and going and going as it did – so I narrowed down the search to only those songs with a color of some sort in the title of the song. I have also stayed away from the word “Blues” since that is an entirely different subject altogether – but have included “compound words” of color such as blackbird, blackboard, blueberry, bluebird, greenback, greensleeves, 
redneck, etc. I’ve come up with well over 400 songs so far and counting. These include songs of several different genres as well as time frames – Far from complete – but very comprehensive – something for everybody looking to put together a musical playlist for an event, gift, celebration or simply just because you’re in the mood to hear it.
