The invention lies in providing a coloring combination for color filter containing triarylmethane pigment, and a resist combination containing the coloring combination, wherein the coloring combination is excellent in dispersion stability, contrast and heat resistance. Specifically, the coloring combination contains the triarylmethane pigment, a dispersing agent, an alkali soluble resin, 1-50 mass parts of inorganic particles with the mean grain size from 10-600nm (relative to 100 mass parts of triarylmethane pigment), Bis(trifluoromethane sulfonimide) salt, and an organic solvent.
