In honor of National Coloring Book Day and National Crayon Day, I asked our listeners for rock songs that make great crayon colors. The answers were above and beyond anything I could have thought of alone. What songs come to mind when you think of colors that are actually song titles?
Side note: if you’re looking for a rocking adult coloring book, the Ozzy Osborne Coloring Book exists.
Classic Rock Colors: Paint vs Crayons
My daughter and her husband recently bought a house. They’re going nuts with paint colors. I know that excitement. When my family was living in Maryland, we rented a condo for 11 years. WHITE WALLS.
I had enough of white walls after 11 years and I went color crazy when we moved back to Michigan. I had an orange kitchen and a yellow entryway. Every room was a color other than white.
Now our house is pretty neutral in color, but with my daughter’s living room being painted “Plumville,” it started me creatively thinking about cool colors that are actually song titles.
My first thought was “Purple Haze.” I love this color name but I would probably not paint any rooms in my house purple. I would, however, want it in my crayon box.
Picking Colors Was a Group Effort
I love asking opinions on social media. I recently asked, “What classic rock songs could also be a crayon color?” The answers were AMAZING. People didn’t just answer with song titles that had a color in them (not that I don’t love those answers too). They got CREATIVE.
One of my favorite submissions was “Night Moves.” I would 100% paint a room in “Night Moves.” What I loved about this response was that it didn’t technically have a color word in it… it was more about the FEELS. I picture a smokey gray, personally, but it’s totally open to your interpretation.
After a considerable amount of back and forth (these colors are serious business) here are the top 8 choices.
