Background

On May 5, 2012, TV5 Network launched three channels exclusive to the Cignal platform. Those were Hyper, Weather and Information Network (WIN) and Colours. The lattermost was created to house lifestyle and entertainment programs.

On March 18, 2017, at exactly 12 noon, Colours unveiled a new logo and slogan, as well as the launch of their new programming.

In 2019, original Colours programming like From Helen's Kitchen were made available to free-to-air viewers via TV5. This was in conjunction with the network's collaboration with Cignal TV to broadcast the latter's shows on free TV.

In August 2020, episodes of TV5-Cignal shows Usapang Real Life, Fit for Life, and Chika, Besh! are currently aired on Colours one day after being shown on TV5.

At the end of 2021, after 9 years of broadcasting, Colours stopped broadcast, while some of the programs which were broadcast on this channel are still seen on TV5, as well as other cable channels such as One News and One PH.[3]
