''A Color Map of the Sun'' is a double-disc album by American electronic music artist Derek Vincent Smith, better known by his stage name Pretty Lights, released July 2, 2013 on 8 Minutes 20 Seconds Records. The album is the first of Smith's to be composed from his own originally produced music in its entirety. Smith's recordings were pressed as samples to vinyl and then mixed using software. Purely analog modular synthesis was also used in the making of the album. In describing why he chose this requirement, Smith has stated: "I was trying to think of something that would be a massive challenge for myself and just a really cool project. I wanted to also prove to myself I could do it."〔http://www.heavy.com/entertainment/2013/06/pretty-lights-interview-color-map-of-the-sun/〕 ''A Color Map of the Sun'' is the first album Smith released as a physical product at the same time as the digital copy.
