Colours is the eighth studio album by the German rock band Eloy, released in 1980.

It is the first non-concept Eloy album since Floating (1974), and the first to be supported by a single and two music videos.

Since last year's Silent Cries and Mighty Echoes, Eloy added guitarist Hannes Arkona to their lineup, while also replacing keyboardist Detlev Schmidtchen and drummer Jürgen Rosenthal with Hannes Folberth and Jim McGillivray.

Songs "Silhouette" and "Horizons" were released as a single, while music videos were made for "Silhouette" and "Illuminations".
