"Colorblind" is a song by American rock band Counting Crows. Written by band members Adam Duritz and Charlie Gillingham for their third album This Desert Life (1999),[1][2] production was helmed by Dennis Herring and David Lowery. It was prominently featured in the 1999 drama film Cruel Intentions starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, Reese Witherspoon, and Selma Blair,[3] and has since been covered by various artists, including Between the Buried and Me[4] (who were named after a section of lyrics in the song "Ghost Train" from the first Counting Crows album August and Everything After), Leona Lewis (for Hurt: The EP), and Natalie Walker.[5] A choral cover recorded by Scala & Kolacny Brothers was also featured in the TV series Manhattan (season 2, episode 5, "The World of Tomorrow").
