"The Speckless Sky" is a 1985 album by Jane Siberry. It was Siberry's highest-charting album on the Canadian charts and contains her biggest Top 40 hit, "One More Colour", taking its name from a line in that song.

Rheostatics recorded a cover of "One More Colour", with additional lyrics by Martin Tielli, on their 1995 album "Introducing Happiness"; Siberry and Tielli recorded a duet, "A Long Time Love Song", on the 1991 Bruce Cockburn tribute album, "Kick At the Darkness". Sarah Polley also performed a cover of "One More Colour" in the film "The Sweet Hereafter".

After this album, Siberry's work was distributed outside of Canada by Reprise Records.
