"Take Away the Colour" is a 1993 song by British Eurodance artist Ice MC. It was released as the first single from his third album, Ice'n'Green (1994), on which it appears as third track, and his ninth single overall. It was written and produced by Robyx, while the female vocals were performed by Simona Jackson. Jasmin Heinrich appeared in the music video and in live performances lip-synching to Jackson's vocals. The song was reissued a year later, in 1995, in a new version entitled "Take Away the Colour ('95 Reconstruction)", however, this version is performed by Alexia. The first version was more successful, reaching the top 20 in Austria, Belgium (Wallonia and Flanders), Italy and Sweden, while both versions reached number 31 in France. The B-side featuring on the various formats of the 1995 release is a megamix composed by ICE MC's hit single "Think about the Way", "It's a Rainy Day" and "Take Away the Colour". This megamix was the next single in France and was only released in this country.
