Color Me Cinnamon is the fifth and final studio album by American singer Stacey Q, released on February 14, 2010 by Hydra Productions. It was her first release in thirteen years since her last album, Boomerang (1997). The work on the album started in 2008, after Shawn Winstian asked Jon St. James to remix a few singles for Hydra Productions’ compilation album, Liquid. An early version of the song "Trip" appeared on the compilation and Swain agreed to record a full-length album. Produced by Jon St. James, Color Me Cinnamon is a musical return to Stacey Q's synthpop and Hi-NRG roots but also features elements of techno-influenced eurodance and rock. Swain collaborated with St. James, Shawn Winstian and Shane Condo on writing the songs for the album.

The album is named after Cinnamon, a character portrayed by Stacy Q on two episodes of the NBC television series The Facts of Life. "Cinnamon was a very popular character for Stacey and a lot of fans thought it was her name," Winstian said. "After recording the song 'Cinnamon Girl' for this album, we decided to call it Color Me Cinnamon as an homage to the album her character had released on the show. For me, this is that lost album."
Three singles from the album were released: "Trip", "Pandora's Box" and "Going Goth".
