The invention provides a colored photosensitive composition which, under the solution state, with excellent ageing stability and wide development latitude, causes no odor and allows formation of colored cured films with good solvent resistance, and also provides a color filter with good color characteristics of high color purity and high contrast ratio, a color filter manufacture method, and a liquid crystal display deice having such a color filter. The colored photosensitive composition comprises a halogenated zinc phthalocyanine pigment (A), a polymeric monomer (B) having an acid group, an adhesive resin (C), a photoplymerization initiator (D), a chain transfer agent (E) selected from secondary or tertiary aliphatic thiol compounds, and a solvent (F).
