A coloring composition comprising a dye compound represented by formula (I):
wherein Dye represents a dye structure portion; Q represents —SO—, —SO2—, —SO2NR11—, —CO— or —CONR12— in which R11 and R12 each independently represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent; W represents a divalent aliphatic group; M represents an ionic group; and m represents an integer of 1 or greater, and wherein the dye compound satisfies conditions 1 and 2:
Condition 1: 200<Mw/(the number of CO2M groups contained in the dye compound)<500
Condition 2: (the number of CO2M groups contained in the dye compound)/p>0.5, with the proviso that Mw represents a molecular weight of the dye compound represented by the formula (1); and p represents the total number of ionic hydrophilic groups substituted on the dye compound represented by the formula (1).
