The album was nominated for three Blitz Awards (the Portuguese equivalent of the Grammy) in the categories of: Best Album, Best New Project and Best Male Vocalist. And in an end-of-decade retrospective of national music, the prestigious newspaper Publico considered Flowers And The Color Of Paint to be one of the ten most influential 'Portuguese' albums of the 1990's. In 1997, acclaimed Hollywood director Antoine Fuqua used the song in the soundtrack for his feature film The Replacement Killers [released by Columbia Pictures] starring; Mira Sorvino (academy award winner) Chow Yun-fat (academy award nominee) and several other known actors such as Clifton Collins Jr. and Michael Rooker. Because of difficulties in obtaining rights to some of the other songs appearing in The Replacement Killers, there was not an official soundtrack release for the film. The original pressing of Flowers And The Color Of Paint by Movieplay Records was only 1500 copies. Ironically, despite the song's obvious cult status with literally millions of illegal downloads around the globe, the label has never made a second issue of the album.
