"Every Shade of Blue" is a 1995 pop / dance song by English girl group Bananarama, from their Ultra Violet album. Originally released in Japan as a double-A-side with "I Found Love", the track was gradually released throughout 1995 and 1996 in several different countries — each time on a different independent dance label, as Bananarama did not have a major-label contract at the time. Their home country of the UK did not get a release of this single or the Ultra Violet album.

The sentiments and sound of the song are melancholic and somewhat of a departure from the upbeat nature of the majority of their hits. "Every Shade of Blue" did receive some play in nightclubs, and charted highest in Canada, where it reached number thirty-five. The only other country in which it charted was Australia, where it reached number ninety-four.

The music video features footage of the two girls singing the song on the floor. These shots are interspersed with brief images of three young men who either pose for the camera or play with a soccer ball.
