1) A British math rock band.
2) An American shoegaze band.
3) The band later renamed Lemon Sun.
4) A Chilean psychedelic rock band.
1) Colour was a four-piece math pop band from Kingston, United Kingdom.
Vocalist Alan Welsh and guitarist George Reid met at college in the London suburb of Kingston. Delivering a sound filled with detail, harmonies, time signatures and tempo changes that shares the experimental English soul of a young Radiohead, Colour unwittingly found themselves driving a new wave of math pop from the low-key Surrey town. The current line up (and indeed, name - they were originally called 'Color') wasn't solidified until February 2008, when after going through eight bass players in three years the band found Lewis Reynolds, a former member of the much-lauded Meet Me In St. Louis - of whom the other members of Colour were big fans. Colour have released the three EPs - Color (when they were still called Color; 2005), Conversations (2006) and Over The Moon (2007) and the singles Chutes (2008) and Unicorns (2009). With the line up cemented, their own sound being born after 3 years of writing in bedrooms, practise and teenage gigs in Kingston, they are beginning to notice the fruits of their labour. Their hometown shows are ammed to bursting. Myspace followers are singing along to all the words. The bands they call their friends from the Big Scary Monsters camp like Tubelord and Blakfish are getting closer to popping their heads out of the underground, one band at a time. And it looks like those sing-along choruses between the noodley bits might find themselves sung by a whole bunch more mouths.
Sadly however, Colour called it a day after their tour with Birmingham's Blakfish.
Band members: Alan Welsh - Vocals / Guitar, George Reid - Guitar, Lewis Reynolds - Bass, J. K. Trood - Drums

In spite of this, Alan will be re-emerging, singing for Tubelord on their 2010 autumn tour, due to singer/ guitarist Joseph Prendergast having vocal problems.
Alan and James Trood are also in a new band called Tangled Hair.

Colour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Meanwhile Rome burns
It's a cultural shift, it's the North Atlantic drift
Americana and a rule Britannia
And the moon, yes, we own that too
And where the Euphrates meets the other river
Is now the home of the devil and the liar
Meanwhile Rome burns
Meanwhile Rome burns
And the films you want to watch and the films you want to make
And the kids, like lost angels dressed in black sensations
And the shift won't shake and the drift won't brake
With billions of diamonds growing like olives and the drift holds the coffers
Meanwhile Rome burns
Meanwhile Rome burns
Meanwhile Rome burns
Meanwhile Rome burns
Meanwhile Rome burns
Meanwhile Rome burns
Meanwhile Rome burns
Meanwhile Rome burns
The lyrics to "North" by Colour seem to be a commentary on the state of the world during the time of the song's release, in particular the cultural shifts that were taking place both socially and politically. The line "Meanwhile Rome burns" is a reference to the alleged apathy of the modern world towards pressing global issues, specifically climate change.
The lyrics suggest a kind of resignation towards the state of the world, with a sense of powerlessness to affect change. The references to Americana and "rule Britannia" suggest a kind of nostalgia for a time when domination and control by superpowers was more straightforward, compared to the complexities of the modern world.
The line "And the pyre we plan to make is just the drift leaving its wake" suggests that the present is a result of past actions, and that future generations may have to pay the price for present inaction. On the other hand, the line "With billions of diamonds growing like olives and the drift holds the coffers" seems to suggest that despite the negative aspects of the present, there are still opportunities for growth and prosperity.

Meanwhile Rome burns
Despite everything happening, we continue on without regard for important issues.
It's a cultural shift, it's the North Atlantic drift
A cultural shift is taking place because of the North Atlantic drift's influence.
Americana and a rule Britannia
The United States and the United Kingdom dominate the cultural scene.
And the moon, yes, we own that too
Humans have claimed ownership over the moon, despite it being impossible to do so.
And where the Euphrates meets the other river
We have exploited areas where the Euphrates and another river meet.
Is now the home of the devil and the liar
This exploitation has resulted in evil people taking ownership of the land.
And the pyre we plan to make is just the drift leaving its wake, ah
Our plans for the future will just be the after effects of what the drift has caused us to do.
And the films you want to watch and the films you want to make
We value movies and entertainment, becoming more and more influential.
And the kids, like lost angels dressed in black sensations
The younger generation looks for meaning in the world around them, with a rebellious streak.
And the shift won't shake and the drift won't brake
There is no stopping the cultural and societal shift occurring because of the North Atlantic drift.
With billions of diamonds growing like olives and the drift holds the coffers
There is an exponential growth in wealth that only the drift can sustain.

Hello Ma'am, I have one query. The colours of East wall should be green or red? Because as per practice, I heard that East direction is governed by air or woods and hence it should be a colour combination of green/ brown. Kindly clarify
