Colors is a 1988 film starring Sean Penn and Robert Duvall. It was directed by Dennis Hopper. The story takes place in Los Angeles in 1987, and is about an experienced cop (Duvall) and his rookie partner (Penn) who try to keep the gang violence between the Bloods and the Crips under control.

The film's release in the spring of 1988 co-incided with the rash of gang violence in the south west United States that was just starting to become a national media story at the time. Some reported incidents of violence took place at theaters where Colors was playing, prompting big name theaters to drop the film.

The film's theme song of the same title was performed by Ice T. In 1987, during the making of the movie, Sean Penn was arrested for punching a photographer who was taking pictures of him without permission. He served a month in jail for this assault.
