"In Color" was co-written and recorded by Jamey Johnson, Lee Thomas Miller and James Otto, becoming Johnson's first top ten country hit. It won awards for Song of the Year in both the 2008 ACM Awards and the 2009 CMA Awards.

Miller credited Johnson with planting the initial seed for the tune:

Miller said that during a songwriters' awards show, a number of black-and-white photographs from prior awards ceremonies were shown as part of the evening's presentation. "I told my wife I wish we were sitting with (Country Music Hall of Fame member) Bill Anderson," Miller said, "'cause he's one of a few people in the room who would know who all the people were (in the old photographs being shown)."

Miller shared the same story about the black-and-white slideshow with fellow songwriter Johnson. After listening to him share his tale, "Jamey took a drag off his cigarette and said, 'There's your song, hoss: You think that's something, you should've seen it in color." And from that point, Miller noted, it was "Game over!" and a country tune was in the making.
