The album was recorded in Itaipava, a neighborhood of [[Petrópolis]], a city in the mountainous regions of [[Rio de Janeiro (state)|the state of Rio de Janeiro]] by Brazilian Eng. Ricardo Mosca. Its title came to Ana Caetano's mind during a trip between [[Petrolina]] ([[Pernambuco]]) and [[Juazeiro do Norte]] ([[Ceará]]) on 14 December 2019. It's a three-letter word meant to allude to the fact that ''Cor'' is their third album of original songs and that the group involves three people (Caetano, Vitória Falcão and manager Felipe Simas). Caetano commented that the number three is also a representation of the union of the body, the spirit and the mind.<ref name="bolcor"/>

On 31 December 2020, the duo published a picture on their [[Instagram]] account (which would later be revealed as the album cover) and the subtitle "COR, 00:00".<ref name="yahoo00">{{Cite web|last=Nogueira|first=Bruna|date=31 December 2020|title=Duo Anavitória anuncia surpresa para a virada do ano|url=https://br.vida-estilo.yahoo.com/duo-anavit%C3%B3ria-anuncia-surpresa-para-173236795.html|access-date=4 January 2021|website=[[Yahoo!]]|publisher=[[Verizon Communications]]}}</ref>

=== Critical reception ===

{{AlbumMusic ratings

| rev1 = ''[[G1 (website)|G1]]''

Mauro Ferreira, from ''[[G1 (website)|G1]]'', called the production "outsticking" to the extent that, in some moments (such as "Tenta Acreditar"), he considered it and the arrangements to be more interesting than the tracks themselves. He noted that the album is "too long for the 2020s phonographic standards", but praised the fact that the duo did not release it "sliced" in EPs or singles, as he states it has become "usual in the market". He finished his review saying that ''Cor'' "exposes Ana Caetano and Vitória Falcão still stuck to a past that brought them premature glory" and that "it's hard not to allow oneself to be enslaved by success".<ref name="g1resenha"/>{{Cite web|last
