Paintings in Yellow is the fourth studio album by a German singer Sandra, released in 1990.
The album showcased more mature sound, departing from previous, up-tempo dance songs in favour of more reflective and sophisticated style. The five-part track "The Journey" foreshadowed the sound of Enigma, a New Age music project that Michael and Sandra were working on at the time of making the album. Frank Peterson, who was the co-producer on the Enigma project, took up the role of writing and producing some of the tracks on Paintings in Yellow.
Painting in Yellow met with commercial success, becoming Sandra's highest-charting album in her home country.
