[nyadrn]

It is the bleak time of year..  cold and dark..  no color    so how about it we add some..

How many songs do we know that have colors in the title or words

The first thing to come to mind was Greensleeves   old English Folksong  close : )

note  In a letter held at the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum dated May 18, 1962, it is noted that "His favorite song is 'Green Sleeves' an old English composition."

King Henry VIII wrote "Greensleeves" for Anne Boleyn. We know how that ended.

There must be a ton of traditional Irish songs with 'green' in the title.  Here's one without it, Tied Up In A "Black Velvet Band"

I'm showing 41 pages of posts but none have "Silver Sping" performed by Stevie Nicks.  No love out there for Stevie Nicks?  Nice song.
