***Colours*** is the third album by Finnish [thrash metal](/source/Thrash_metal) band [Stone](/source/Stone_(Finnish_band)), released in 1990. This is their first album with Nirri Niiranen, replacing original guitarist Jiri Jalkanen, who had been fired from the band just before the recording sessions started.[1] *Colours* is considered to be more technical and experimental than Stone's first two albums, continuing the elements of [progressive](/source/Progressive_metal) that the band had used on its predecessor *[No Anaesthesia!](/source/No_Anaesthesia!)*, and featuring more complexity and mid-paced tempos, as well as longer songs in length.[1][2] It was remastered and re-issued by Megamania in 2003. The Japanese version had a redder pigment used on the album cover.[3] [An EP](#Empty_Suit_EP) was released for the album track "Empty Suit".
