I had high hopes, but.....
I love many of Baby Einstein's products. I have two other videos, a saucer/bouncy chair, and several books by Baby Einstein, and I LOVE them. I wanted to get more Baby Einstein videos for my almost one-year-old so she wouldn't be watching the same ones over and over. Well, this one was a disappointment for me. The kicker is that it seems to be the highest rated of the Baby Einstein videos! Did you even watch it??

My main issue, was the speech sound quality. The music was perfect, and the music volume was great, but when they actually talked, I couldn't hear them well enough to understand any of it. I thought I was going deaf! They punctuated the video with bits of poetry about each color, but what's the point of that if you can't even hear it? It sounds like they recorded the speech on an old cassette tape in a bathroom! To be fair, here are the pros and cons of the video:

Negatives:
-Vocal recording quality is poor, at best
-The puppetry was rough, and inexpressive compared their usual high quality of work
-Obnoxious 80's-ish sound effects with no apparent purpose

Positives:
-Beautiful classical music
-Cute and interesting video montages

I'd like to note that the positives are true of the GOOD Baby Einstein videos as well, but the negatives are not. I highly recommend "My First Signs" and "First Words: Around the House." I hope to find more of the good ones, but I'm honestly scared to put any more money into the search!

Disappointed
I was expecting it to be closer to 30 minutes than 20, and they only went through 6 colors. It's definitely not the best Baby Einstein dvd. My kids seem to enjoy the animal ones better. The puppet shows and songs are their favorite parts, but this one doesn't have as much of that.

Insulting. Speaks down to kids
I find it ironic that the title has Einstein in it when it clearly assumes my child is an idiot. It's almost shameful how this company intimates that they are somehow educational.

Genius!
I have read that there is a study saying that these videos are harmful to a childs development however I have done a study of my own so to speak. My son who is turning 7 next month has been watching these videos since he was a newborn (baby van gogh and galileo are were favorites) and he is doing above average in school. I cant say its due to him watching these videos but I can say they have not harmed my children! My 5 year old also watched these and has been writing letters and spelling out words since he was 2. I think these videos are helpful in teaching children. I wouldnt stick them in front of them all day everyday but they are a good supplement to you teaching your children. I love this video myself, its cute and it doesnt annoy you even when they want to watch it over and over. The little blue goat cracks me up!
