Top 10 songs featuring a colour

The first entry for the year is appropriately my first entry for the colour blog. The SDC and the Colour Experience will be talking to our local radio station Bradford Community Broadcasting (BCB) tomorrow at 12 noon to promote The Colour Experience Project.

-

As part of the show, we’ve been asked to give our top 10 favourite tracks, so of course we couldn’t miss this opportunity to pick songs with colour in the title. This has actually caused as much enthusiasm in the office as the broadcast itself, with much debate as to what should be included in the playlist. So much so that the SDC staff were willing to share their personal favourites, a selection of which are included below:
