'''''No More Color''''' is the third album by Swiss [thrash metal](/source/thrash_metal) band [Coroner](/source/Coroner_(band)), released on 18 September 1989 by [Noise Records](/source/Noise_Records).

==Musical style==
''No More Color'' was the album where Coroner started to truly "progress", as the songs are still similar to their older, speedy, European thrash metal but start to feature elements of the [avant-garde](/source/avant-garde) progressive thrash of their later albums, akin to the band's then-labelmates [Watchtower](/source/Watchtower_(band)). This album also features very proficient instrumentation and incorporation of elements from genres such as [jazz fusion](/source/jazz_fusion), [progressive rock](/source/progressive_rock) and [classical music](/source/classical_music), which would later be an influence on the evolution and maturity of the experimental side of heavy metal, including acts such as [Death](/source/Death_(metal_band)).

==Reissues==
After being out of print for many years, Noise/BMG reissued the album in 2018, remastered with the same track list in a digipack cd case, with additional photographs of the band and memorabilia.
