How many bands / artists can you think of with colours in their name. Started as a theme at Uni.

So far we have

Simply Red
Blue
Pink
Aqua
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Barry White
Cilla Black
Whitesnake
Green Day
Yellow
Black Sabbath
Average White Band
Blondie (does that count)
Four Non Blondes
Al Green
Orange Juice
Pink Floyd
Blue Oyster Cult
Cream

not bad for 5 mins talking.
 
BRMC
Deep Purple
Aqua :p
Moody Blues

I take it single artists can be included going off your list, which expands it a bit.

Norman Greenbaum
Jackson Brown

I wouldn't call blonde a colour. Yellow would be the colour, no?
 
Crimson Tears
Crimon Altar
The Blue Season
Ebony Ark
Red Harvest
The Black Dahlia Murder
Onyx
RedShift
Goldfrapp
Technoir
The Grey Skies
Autumn's Grey Solace
Black Funeral
Black Tape For A Blue Girl
 
Blondie (does that count)
Four Non Blondes

If the second one does then the first must as well. Although lets not get into the whole white and black not being colours debate. ;)

Deep Blue Something
3 Colours Red
Evelyn "Champagne" King (most famous for Shame but this one is a bit of a stretch)
Black Box
Black Grape
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Black Lab
Blackalicious
Blues Brothers
Norman Greenbaum
Deepest Blue
Mint Royale (again a bit of a stretch depending on whether mint is a colour)
Goldfinger
Goldfrapp
James Brown
Al Greene
David Gray
Redman

That's just a quick scan through some of my music collection and not including ones already mentioned, there are lots more I'm sure.

//edit ok they weren't mentioned when I started writing the post.

Colour in the name they all have, for a few it just depends whether you accept that stone, champagne, coral or mint can be defined as colours.

I think traditional colours are the only way forward, rather than anything in the Dulux range. Then we'd have to accept "peace", "meditation" and "warm savannah" as well.
