- "color theory" was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Gabe Wax, who also produced the Soccer Mommy single "Romancer."
- The album title is a reference to the psychological effects of color, with each song corresponding to a color: blue, yellow, and red.
- Upon release, "color theory" debuted at number 17 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart.
