Flying Colors is an album by saxophonist Ricky Ford which was recorded in 1980 and released on the Muse label.

[1][2][3] The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide said: "Perhaps the best view of Ford the improviser is afforded on Flying Colors, a first-class program of music by Strayhorn, Ellington and Monk.

"[5] The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "Ricky Ford was one of the top tenors to emerge during the '70s and early '80s.

This Muse set finds him matched with a top-notch rhythm section ...

It was a fine showcase for the up-and-coming tenor".
