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.

I`m sorry @MI5 but the post is timed at 23.59 so to be fair to all the other players, and a similar situation occured in a previous Challenge, I cannot accept your answer. Also please note, that

YELLOW = All Together Now has been submitted by @Glory1  at 00.00 that is after midnight, which I can accept.

However, you may submit an alternative answer up to 11pm.

 

[edited to add: Thank you for your new answer]

Yeah, @MI5 - wait until your computer clock says 00:01 before starting your answer - that Community time-dilation effect permeates far and wide.

Wonder if they fixed the one where your timestamp was the end of the next day yet? Hmm.

Will have to experiment later.

It's happened to me and @Glory1 and is easily done.

Particularly when you press post just when the 'clock' clicks onto 00.00.
