I've always wondered about the expression "you passed with flying colors." I can't imagine too many math teachers being stoked with colors flying around the room, especially during a test. As for driver's ed, no way are flying colors going to get you your driver's license.
While I'm guessing it has something to do with some sort of flags being flown in celebration, tonight I've put together a playlist filled with tracks bringing the imagery of colors flying around the room.
Hope you enjoy!
