Colors, known as Aapka Colors in the US, is a Hindi language Indian general entertainment
channel based in Mumbai, part of the Viacom 18 family, which was launched on July 21, 2008.
The channel got a huge popularity just after its launch with Khatron Ka Khiladi:
Fear Factor with Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar and due to its successful ratings, it received
a 2nd position among other Hindi general entertainment channels for a little while, such as Zee TV, Sony TV, STAR Plus, and Sahara One. The network has successfully completed its 1st year.
Currently, the channel is featuring a number of successful shows, such as Balika Vadhu,
Jai Shri Krishna and Bigg Boss 3.
The channels' most popular show, Balika Vadhu has been ranked in the TOP 5 shows of Indian
television's TRPs charts, within 3 months of its launch.
On 21 January 2010, Colors became available on Dish Network in the US, where it is called
Aapka Colors (Respectfully your Colors) because of a clash with Colours TV. Amitabh Bachchan
served as brand ambassador for the UK and USA launches.
Colors launched in the United Kingdom and Ireland on Sky on 25 January 2010.On 9 December
2009, INX Media confirmed that Colors had bought 9XM's Sky EPG slot on channel 829 and
