The Speckless Sky is a 1985 album by Jane Siberry. It takes its name from a line in the first song, "One More Colour".

It was Siberry's highest-charting album on the Canadian charts, and contains her biggest Top 40 hit, "One More Colour."

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.

The Speckless Sky is no longer available on CD, but can be obtained via the SHEEBA Log Cabin store link.
