Comment: The song title is a catch phrase used by former Pink Floyd Road Manager, Chris Adamson. When asked for a guitar, Adamson would respond "Any colour you like, they're all blue". This was based on a statement by automobile manufacturer Henry Ford in the 1920's who declared that you could have a Ford in any colour you liked, as long as it was black.
