"'Colour of Love'" is a 1996 song recorded by Dutch-German singer Amber. It was released as the second single from her debut album of the same name (1996), and is the follow-up to her successful hit, "This Is Your Night". The song is co-written by Amber with Berman Brothers, who also produced it, and charted in several countries, like Australia, Iceland and New Zealand. In the latter, it was a bigger hit than "This is Your Night, peaking at number 31. On the US 'Billboard' Hot 100, the song reached number 105, but later number 74, in 1997. On the 'Billboard' Hot Dance Club Play chart, it peaked at number five. The accompanying music video for "Colour of Love" sees Amber performing in a yellow submarine.

On June 17, 2022, the Jonathan Peters & Anthony Acid Trenergy Hard Remix, which was never previously issued commercially, was released to all digital platforms internationally as part of "Amber Remixed - Extended Versions" long form compilation of club remixes.

Critical reception



Barry Walters for 'The Advocate' called the song a "sugarcoated treat".Walters, Barry (2 September 1997). "Music". 'The Advocate'. Issue 741. AllMusic editor Alex Henderson described it as "European-sounding" and noted that it's not "unlike something '80s dance duo Fun Fun would have done". Larry Flick from 'Billboard' declared it as an "infectious and perky Euro-NRG twirler", adding that it is "solid" and "her performance is nothing short of star-powered." Jeffrey Lee Puckett from 'The Courier-Journal' said the song "ups the dance quotient", "but it also boasts a pure-pop hook."Lee Pckett, Jeffrey (25 January 1997). "Amber's night out". p.4. 'The Courier-Journal'. 'L.A. Times' noted Amber's "giddy exuberance".(January 1997). "Amber "This Is Your Night"". 'L.A. Times'. A reviewer from 'Music Week' wrote, "What promises to be jaunty soon turns anodyne for an artist enjoying Top 20 US success. Sadly, rather formulaic Euro-pop from the Dutch-born singer."
