The purpose of the present invention is to provide a triarylmethane
pigment having excellent
heat resistance and to provide a colorant for a color filter having good color characteristics by using a coloring composition using the triarylmethane
pigment because the
heat resistance of a conventional triarylmethane
pigment is not sufficient. Provided are a
triarylmethane dye represented by general formula (1), a coloring composition containing the dye, a colorant for a color filter, and a color filter. In # imgabs0 # formula (1), R1-R5 represent H, an
alkyl group, an
aromatic hydrocarbon group, or a heterocyclic group, R6-R10 represent H, a
halogen atom, OH, CF3, NO2, CN, an
alkyl group, or an
alkoxy group, R11-R14 represent H, an
alkyl group, or an
aromatic hydrocarbon group, and at least one of R8 and R12-R14 represents an alkyl group or an
aromatic hydrocarbon group. An represents an anion, and m represents a natural number.
