"Green Is the Colour" is a short track on Pink Floyd's 1969 soundtrack Music from the Film More. It is a pastoral ballad sung by David Gilmour. In The Man and the Journey suite, it was retitle "The Beginning" in "The Journey" half of the show. It was played as a medley with "Beset by the Creatures of the Deep," which was a retitling of "Careful with That Axe, Eugene". There is a tin whistle or pennywhistle on the song, but it is not known who plays it. Some sources say that it is Nick Mason's wife Lindy. The live performances of the song are considerably different. David Gilmour would use an electric guitar, there would be a scat solo after the last verse, there would be drums, and the song would merge with Careful With That Axe Eugene.
