If you loved The Colors Within, try Liz und der Blaue Vogel
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Naoko Yamada, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Drama / Music territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Colors Within, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Liz und der Blaue Vogel is
Suzuki joins the brass band’s swan song with a borrowed clarinet. The flutist’s ghost-white cheeks crack a brittle harmony. A fairy-tale duet carried by one girl’s awkward fingers.
