Gei ni yidian yanse (给你一点颜色), English title on cover Show You Colour, is the 5th music album from Chinese rock'n'roll star Cui Jian, released on 23 March 2005. In contrast to his previous work, 'Show You Colour' combines elements of Rock, Popular Music, Hip-Hop and Electronic to produce its distinctive sound.
Show You Colour is divided into three themes; red representing the internal spirit, yellow representing love and blue representing wisdom or knowledge.
The second track is the most popular track with netizens, downloads and streams of the song far exceeding others on the album. The song ·蓝色骨头· (lanse gutou), which translates as "Blue Bone" (or alternatively "Blue Man of Character") seems to be the album's main song, as Chinese music site, Douban, stated that the colour blue comes across as the most important of the colour themes. Although it concerns itself with "literate people" the song is Cui Jian's personal portrait of society and life. Douban suggests that only listeners who understand "Blue Bones" can grasp Cui Jian's current own situation and knowledge of life.
The album received majority positive reviews, with users on music site 360buy giving it 4 out of 5 stars.
