Not a specific colour but Astonishing Splashes of Colour by Clare Morrall is a really good book.
About someone with synastheasia.

Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde. Emphatically NOT the porny one!

The Land of Green Ginger, by Noel Langley - it is a children’s book, but is very funny, and I still enjoy it as an adult.

fifty shades of gray? 😂 maybe try looking on good reads? i did a reading challenge last year and they have lists of books relating to different themes which helped me when i was stuck.

Sorry was trying to post a reading group suggestion list but I cannot work out how to do it!
For Every month it suggests a different type of book
For January it suggests reading a book with a colour in the title.
I have read the colour purple, the green mile so was hoping for something else.
Ideally something quite cheerful
Any suggestions?
