The challenge today is to make an album of songs that have a color in the title. The catch is that **you cannot use the same color word twice.** Note that in this case, adjectivial forms of colors are acceptable, e.g. “The Greenest Day In May” would be okay if that were actually a song. As per previous Song Title Challenges, 1. Each song title must meet the requirements. 2. You cannot use two songs from the same artist, though songs from related artists (e.g. a song by The Police and a song by Sting as a solo artist) are acceptable. 3. The song cannot be some obscure thing you did yourself, it has to be a song actually known to at least a few people released on a legitimate label. 4. To win your album must have at least ten songs, but you can have as many as twelve. Albums will be judged by the mix of songs, how you order them, or whatever subjective criteria I choose at my whim. Have fun! ---
