The invention relates to a colored polymer dispersion containing, as main ingredients: (a) a colored polymer produced by polymerization of monomer A with monomer B, monomer A being a pigment B which is coated with a polymerizable wax D wherein the polymerizable function is an ethylenically unsaturated group, monomer B being a ethylenically unsaturated compound; (b) at least one non-ionic surface-active additive E based on polyethers and/or polyglycerines; (c) at least one anionic surface-active additive F based on sulfonates, sulfates, phosphonates, phosphates or carboxylates; and (d) water.
