Background
On May 5, 2012, TV5 Network three channels exclusive to the Cignal platform. Those were Hyper, Weather and Information Network (WIN) and Colours. The lattermost was created to house lifestyle and entertainment programs.
On March 18, 2017 at exactly 12 noon, Colours unveiled a new logo and slogan, as well as the launch of their new programming.
In 2019, original Colours programming like From Helen's Kitchen were made available to free-to-air viewers via TV5. This was in conjunction with the network's collaboration with Cignal TV to broadcast the latter's shows on free TV.
In August 2020, episodes of TV5-Cignal shows Usapang Real Life, Fit For Life, and Chika, Besh! are currently aired on Colours one day after being shown on TV5.
