How do you decide on a titles for your books, and in particular--"Forbidden Colours"?

Hi Judy,
'Forbidden Colours' was the working title for the book as I loved the song. I like to use working titles based on songs I like, but I usually end up changing them... not on this occasion though because the concept of Forbidden Colours ( which I've outlined below) also became part of the story line! When it comes to titles I am a bit like a squirrel. Something will strike me and I 'll think 'oohh that would make a good title for a story'. I write them down and store them up then when I need inspiration I go through them.
