Green Eyed Lady was done by Sugarloaf sometime in the 70’s.
(Thanks Lib.)
How about Ken Nordine’s Colors album?
Sample lyric from “Gray”
“Absolute gray is the grayest gray / That’s the same distance from absolute white as it is from absolute black,”
Um… Yellow Submarine.
Purple Haze - Jimi
Black & White - Three Dog Night
“White Room” by Cream.
A couple of likely suspects:
Don Gibson’s #20 hit in 1958 Blue, Blue Day
Bobby Vinton’s (#3, 1960 Blue on Blue
Foreigner’s (#15, 1979 ) Blue Morning, Blue Day
Los Bravos (#4, 1966) Black is Black
For a fairly obsure title, how about either version of Black Denim Trousers from 1955? You could pick either The Cheers’ #5 version or the Vaughn Monroe :eek: #38 version. The chorus:
“He had black denim trousers and motorcycle boots and a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back.”
If a folk song would work, there’s the New Christy Minstrels’ Green, Green , a #14 charter from 1963.
And from the Vegas circuit, Red Roses for a Blue Lady, mostly associated with Wayne Newton, who took it to #23 in 1965.
[Sidelight] According to my trusty Joel Whitburn’s, Newton’s version placed the lowest of the three charted versions. Bert Kaempfert’s insturmental hit #11, and Vic Dana’s vocal went to #10. Don’t remember who covered who on this one, but was interested to note that Dana covered another multiple color song, Neil Diamond’s #62, 1968 Red, Red Wine. Dana did a version in 1970 that reached #72. Ah, the joys of a good reference book! [/Sidelight]
The Monkees did a song called “Shades of Grey” with this lyric:
Robin
“There’s a smart young woman on a light blue screen
Who comes into my house every night.
And she takes all the red, yellow, orange and green
And she turns them into black and white.”
- Elvis Costello - “Green Shirt”
<clears throat>
Red and yellow and pink and green
Purple and orange and blue
I can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow too
Listen with your eyes, listen with your eyes
Sing everything you see
I can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow, sing along with me
Red and yellow and pink and green
Purple and orange and blue
I can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow too
I remember singing this song in 2nd grade, which probably would’ve been about 1979 or 1980.
I see a red door, and I want to paint it black
No colours anymore, I want them to turn black…
Paint it Black, The Rolling Stones.
How does that old Black Sabbath song go?
“Black is white and blue is brown/
All the colors now are different somehow . . .”
Something like that. It’s off the Sabbath Bloody Sabbath album if I’m not mistaken.
Okay. The song is “Killing Yourself To Live,” and the lyrics to the verse I was thinking of are:
“I don’t know if I’m up or down,
Whether black is white or blue is brown,
The colors of my life are all different somehow . . .”
and Ozzy goes on to sing some stuff that’s incomprehensible if you’re not on acid . . .
Kate Bush, in “Symphony in Blue,” uses “blue” five times in five lines, and in a later stanza, “red” three times.
XTC’s “Senses Working Overtime” uses “black” in three consecutive lines.
See I am Wonder Mike, and I’d like to say hello,
To the black, to the white, the red and the brown,
The purple and yellow.

“Lavender Blue” by Burl Ives among others.
“Tan Shoes and Pink Shoelaces” by Dodie Stevens, 1959, names at least three colors, four if you count polka-dot.

has a line about “colors of green and gray”
sol.una… reply back if this is helping because if you want this well informed group could actually get serious about your request.
