Colors is the fourth studio album by the band Between the Buried and Me, released on September 18, 2007. Described by the band as "adult contemporary progressive death metal", the album runs together as a 64-minute epic split up into 8 tracks. In its first week it sold approximately 12,600 copies, reaching 57th on the Billboard 200--the first time the band cracked the top 100 on that list.
