For Colored Girls is a 2010 American film directed, produced, and written by Tyler Perry. It is an adaptation of Ntozake Shange's 1975 stage play For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf.
Retaining the play's poetic style, the film's lead cast consists of eight African-American women, seven of whom are based on the play's seven characters only known by color ("Lady in Red", "Lady in Blue", "Lady in Yellow" etc). Like its source material, each character deals with a different personal conflict, such as love, abandonment, rape, infidelity, and abortion.
