Colorama is an alternative pop group formed by Welsh singer-songwriter, music producer and multi-instrumentalist Carwyn Ellis.
The line-up varies frequently, both in the studio and on stage.

Colorama released their Japan only debut album, Cookie Zoo on Records in April 2008, and released their debut single, Sound via Redbricks Recordings in UK.

The band started playing together in early July 2008 and have since played Glastonbury Festival, Latitude Festival, Home Game, The Sŵn Festival, Port Eliot Festival, Truck Festival, The Apple Cart Festival, National Eisteddfodau, Cloudspotting Festival, Festival N°6, Green Man Festival and more.

In the summer of 2009, the tragic news was announced that their double bass player, Ellis's best friend David Fletcher had died on 29 June, from a heart attack suffered in his sleep, just days after Colorama’s appearance at Glastonbury Festival.

Magic Lantern Show, featuring songs in Welsh and English was released in September 2009 with Dere Mewn becoming a modern classic in Wales and garnering rave reviews and lots of airplay on both sides of the border.
