The piece itself features no lyrics, and consists of a synthesised tune which segues into a guitar solo (some scat vocals are added later on, these were more prominent in live versions but are still audible in the studio cut). It is approximately three minutes, 25 seconds in length. The song used advanced effects for the time both in the keyboard and the guitar. The VCS 3 synthesizer was fed through a long tape loop to create the rising and falling keyboard solo. David Gilmour used two guitars with the Uni-Vibe guitar effect to create the harmonizing guitar solo for the rest of the song. Any Colour You Like is also known (and is even listed on the Dark Side guitar tablature book[3]) as Breathe (Second Reprise) because the song shares the same beat (albeit somewhat funkier and uptempo) as the albums first song Breathe. It has also nearly the same chord sequence just transposed a whole step lower from E minor to D minor. While the song is instrumental, it has been speculated that the song ties to The Dark Side of the Moon concept by considering the lack of choice one has in human society, while being deluded into thinking one does. It is also speculated that the song is about the fear of making choices.
