The Colour of My Love is the twelfth studio album and third English‑language release by Canadian singer Celine Dion. Issued on 9 November 1993 by Columbia Records and Epic Records, the album marked a significant step in Dion's transition from a rising international vocalist to a global pop figure. Its production was led primarily by David Foster, Ric Wake, Walter Afanasieff, Christopher Neil, and Guy Roche, while four tracks were written by noted songwriter Diane Warren. The album also includes Dion's interpretations of "The Power of Love" and "When I Fall in Love".

Critical reception was generally positive, with many reviewers praising Dion's vocal performance and the album's confident blend of contemporary pop and sweeping balladry. The Colour of My Love became a major commercial success, topping the charts in Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and several other European territories, and reaching number four on the Billboard 200 in the United States. With worldwide sales exceeding 20 million copies, the album ranks among the best‑selling albums of all time. It has sold over six million units in the United States, more than 1.8 million in the United Kingdom, 1.5 million in Canada, and upwards of one million in Japan.

The album generated several internationally successful singles. "The Power of Love" became Dion's first number‑one hit in the United States, while "Think Twice" topped the UK Singles Chart for five consecutive weeks and became one of the decade's best‑selling singles in the region. "To Love You More", included on the 1995 Japanese reissue of the album, reached number one in Japan and became one of Dion's most successful singles in the country. Each of these tracks sold more than one million copies in their respective markets.

The Colour of My Love earned Dion multiple awards and industry distinctions. At the Juno Awards of 1995, it won both Album of the Year and Best Selling Album (Foreign or Domestic). It also received the IRMA Award for Best International Female Artist Album. "Think Twice" was honoured with the Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically, while "To Love You More" won the International Single Grand Prix at the Japan Gold Disc Award. Dion's duet "When I Fall in Love" earned the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocal(s) and was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals in 1994. "The Power of Love" received a nomination for Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 1995.
