Your social media feeds might have been blowing up with images of Bob Ross over the last week, as people are excited that they can now stream the Bob Ross "Beauty is Everywhere" collection on Netflix.

Bob Ross, who gave us more than a decade of on-air oil painting of intricate landscapes, can still be seen in reruns on many TV stations across the world, and now on-demand through Netflix and Hulu.

To celebrate the return of "happy little trees" to our lives, let's listen to songs that reference colors for today's 9:30 Coffee Break.

Songs played


Pink Moon - Nick Drake
Magenta - Ken Nordine
Green Eyes - Husker Du
