On a gloomy day color me gray
When hope I lack color me black
When without you color me blue
When filled with fright color me white
When replete with spleen color me green
When I'm out of my head color me red
When happy I think color me pink
When a timid fellow color me yellow

I like the idea here but I am not sure that "when" as an opening word on every line is really the strongest approach, since it seems to weight it down a little. Just the same, thank you for entering.
