Colour is the second album by British soul group the Christians. It was released in January 1990 by Island Records and peaked at number one on the UK Albums Chart.[1] It also reached the top 20 in several European countries due to, notably, the success of its lead single "Words".[2]

A review in Music & Media said "Colour is a triumph... A rich textured sound and instantly recognisable vocal harmonies combine with a strong, well thought out bunch of songs".[3]
