BitchTapes: Color Mix
This music mix is dedicated to all things colorful.
Red is covered by St. Vincent, amongst others; Blue (for which I could have included about 1000 other songs) is handled by the likes of
Leonard Cohen and Joanna Newsom, Pink is handled by the Mountain Goats, Green by the National, and Grey by Josephine Foster. The lack of color is covered by the Dresden Dolls.
Any suggestions for good purples (besides Purple Haze please) or browns? Perhaps some lavender? Mauve?
Other favorite color tunes?

color songs
Black Star- Radiohead
Is Purple Rain too obvious? Joni Mitchell's Blue? Marianne Faithful's cover of "It's all over now baby blue"? "Paint it Black"?
Orange Crush-R.E.M.
Start Wearing Purple - Gogol

the combination of "red
the combination of "red right ankle" and "this side of the blue" is enough to break the hardest of hearts.
Orange

I recommend "The Purple
I recommend "The Purple Bottle" by Animal Collective and "Orange Blossom Special" by Johnny Cash. :D
Also, there's no yellow, my favorite! "Yellow Submarine" is just a tad too obvious, so go for "Melon Yellow" by Slowdive.

The Lavender Song is a gay rights song from 1920s German cabaret, and Ute Lemper does lovely versions of it in both German and English.
