Background
Colour Green was recorded on a reel-to-reel tape recorder in Baier's home in Germany. Part of the album was inspired by a trip through Europe by Baier and her friend Claudine. This particular journey yielded the writing of the track "Remember the Day," reportedly the first that Baier had written up to that point.
The instrumentation of the album is minimal, including only Baier's voice and classical guitar.
Some 30 years after these songs were recorded, her son Robby compiled a CD from these recordings to give to family members as presents. He also gave a copy to Dinosaur Jr's J Mascis, who in turn passed it along to the Orange Twin record label. Orange Twin released the album in February 2006.
