The Color of Silence is the fifth studio album by Tiffany, released on November 7, 2000 (see 2000 in music). It represented a "comeback" for Tiffany, being her first studio album released in seven years, and the first released in the United States in ten years. It was released after Tiffany returned to southern California after living in Nashville, Tennessee for several years in an unsuccessful attempt to establish a career in country music; she never released any country albums until 2011's Rose Tattoo.
Originally, The Color of Silence was going to be released by Modern Records, but when this company ran into business troubles the release was switched to Eureka Records.
The Color of Silence is Tiffany's "alternative" album, even down to its cover art reminiscent of Nine Inch Nails' The Downward Spiral. It experimented with different facets of the genre including darker textures and lyrics, distorted guitars in "Butterfly" and the unusual 11
8 time signature in "Flown". It received some very favorable reviews. A Billboard front-page article called it "thoughtful, intelligent, and full of grace", and said that it could be considered "Tiffany's equivalent to Alanis Morissette's landmark Jagged Little Pill." However, it did not achieve commercial success to match the critical welcome. It made it onto the shelves of many record stores, but was not heavily promoted; it ended up selling mostly to the established fan base which had stuck with Tiffany over the years, as well as to a few new fans attracted by word of mouth or dance club play of songs from this album.
