Welcome to the sixth in the series of Challenges.
Between October 1962 and May 1970, The Beatles released 24 singles, 13 EPs, 13 Albums, with a total of 293 tracks.
COLOUR IN LYRICS CHALLENGE
Below is an alphabetical list of colour-related words which appear in officially released Beatles songs.
The Challenge is to find which word appears in which song, or songs.
Hints/clues:
Some words appear in more than one song. In such cases, the number of songs in which the word is in is shown in [x].
Some songs contain more than one of the words on the list. In these cases, you need to find each word and post each answer in a separate post.
Note: you are not looking for other colour-related words which may be in the lyrics of Beatles` songs but those in the list. Should you find any of the words in songs not on my list, as in the previous Challenges, I will re-check my sources and give my verdict with an explanation as to my decision
No "live" recording; BBC sessions; Polydor records; bootlegs; unreleased tracks.
Rules:
Please, no googling, wiki, social media, iplayer, youtube, personal record collection [e.g. album sleeves] in search of the answers. Of course, listening to songs is permitted.
You may submit one answer for one word in one song per post - not two or more songs where the same word appears - and can only post one answer per day.
Each entry should be submitted as [colour-related word] in [name of song it appreas in].
This Challenge will open at 11pm tomorrow [Monday 13 May] when you can submit your first answer up to 11pm Tuesday, when the first results will be announced.
On each subsequent day/night, answers can be submitted after midnight until 11pm.
The list of colour-related words is given in the next post.
Good luck.

Good luck in the pub quiz @pgn
You might get questions from Thursday Quiz, which might raise a laugh, or even give clues to this weeks.

Black ~ Tell Me What You See ? I don't want to read back so have you missed this off your list @Mi-Amigo
@jonsie No problem. This was on my list and found by @Bambino on 23 May.
Just to clarify this particular answer. I understand why @jonsie made that choice. In the list of words found, @Mi-Amigo has been listing the song as TELL ME WHY, which has no colour lyrics in it, instead of TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE, which is the song I chose on 23 May.
Very valid and correct point @Bambino . I did indeed mistakenly put Tell Me Why instead of Tell Me What You See.
I hope my mistake didn`t spoil things too much for anyone.

That's why I posted it because it wasn't on the list that I looked at

I only spotted the error @jonsie because I was scrolling through the answers to double check what answers had been given for BLUE before I posted my PM for the last ones.

I simply thought it had been missed by @Mi-Amigo but it all adds to the fun

@pgn I make it 4: Love Me Do, She Loves You, Can't Buy Me Love and All You Need Is Love.
The only ones I know anyway. What did you say?

Four:
More info
She Loves You; Can`t Buy Me Love; All You Need Is Love; Real Love. Love Me Do wasn`t Number 1.
And I`ve got one for you to try out at the pub quiz...
How many times is the word LOVE sung in All You Need Is Love?
And yes I have actually counted them...

Based on what we thought was 17 UK No 1s by the Beatles, we guesstimated 5 LOVE/LOVES.
The QM's answer, which is binding, was 3. I may contest it next week, if I can get a solid, confirmed list

Let me know which songs were on the quizmasters list and I`ll provide you with solid, confirmed list with references from recognised official sources - not websites or fanbases.
As a matter of interest, which five songs did you think?
