    In the world of prog, what are some examples of group names, album names or song titles that have a specific color in them?
        There must be a fair number of them. Below is just a partial list, starting off with what must be the most obvious example.

Group Names

Pink Floyd
Black Widow

Song Titles

Black Snake-Atomic Rooster

Album Titles

Green Desert-Tangerine Dream
Red-King Crimson
Starless and Bible Black-King Crimson
Sky Blue-Passport
Blue Eyed Boys-Wallenstein

Can't forget to include King Crimson in group names! Or One More Red Nightmare and the title track of Red in the song list. 

Then there are also the albums/songs Crimson by Edge of Sanity and Blackwater Park by Opeth from the metal side of prog.
