Don't think anyone's mentioned "She's a Rainbow" by the Rolling Stones
yet. Also not sure if anyone mentioned "Karma Chameleon" by the
Culture Club, which has several "colour references" in it.

One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you, don't do anything at all

Go ask Alice, when she's ten feet tall

And if you go chasing rabbits, and you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar has given you the call

And call Alice, when she was just small

When the men on the chessboard get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom, and your mind is moving low

Go ask Alice, I think she'll know

When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead
And the white knight is talking backwards
And the red queen's off with her head
Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your head, feed your head

MIDNIGHT BLUE
MELISSA MANCHESTER

Whatever it is, it'll keep till morning.
Haven't we both got better things to do? Midnight blue.
Even though simple things become rough, haven't we had
enough?
And I think we can make it. One more time, if we try.
One more time for all the old times.
For all the times you told me you need me,
Needing me now is something I could use. Midnight blue.
Wouldn't you give your hand to a friend? Maybe it's not the
end.
And I think we can make it. One more time, if we try.
One more time for all the old times. Midnight blue.
I think we can make it. I think we can make it.
Wouldn't you give your hand to a friend? Think of me as your
friend,
And I think we can make it. One more time, if we try.
One more time for all of the old old old times.

You Could also try:
Blue Velvet - Bobby Vinton
Black Velvet - Alannah Miles
Red, Red Wine
Red Sails In The Sunset
Judy Blue Eyes


Yellow Submarine - The Beatles

Raspberry Beret - Prince

LOL ;)
