Songs that Capture the Essence of Each Colour

[The Missing Shade of Blue]

If you were to create playlists based on each colour and their respective symbolism, which songs would you use?

 

For example, I'd put Jealous Guy by John Lennon in my green playlist. It's got a beautiful serene sound and deals with themes of envy.

[Embach]

Serene Queen is so metallic purple. 

[Psychedelic Pussy]

West coast is burnt orange idk

brooklyn baby is like a pale sage green

Idk if these songs “capture” that essence but whatever

[cherrytropico]

brooklyn baby - powder blue

shades of cool - navy blue 

every man gets his wish - baby pink

off to the races - scarlet red

carmen - crimson red 

freak - tangerine orange

high by the beach - lavender 

norman fucking rockwell - burnt sienna  

nectar of the gods - golden yellow 

chemtrails over the country club - peach orange

cherry - maroon

st tropez - fuchsia

fuck it i love you - lime green

"willow" by Taylor Swift sounds like the color of a glowing lantern- it's weird but it makes sense to me 

that song always keeps me warm in te winter for some reason

 

 

[yayo6408]

green: celtic spirit, new age, folk

blue: chillout, electronic

red: love/romantic songs

pink: bubblegum pop

violet: melancholic songs

black: funeral music

yellow/orange: summer songs

brown: autumn songs, folk

[The Siren]

This song will always be a black void to me. Maybe with some red "paint" splatters

blue for liability
