As a contribution to the archaeological research on polychromy, this study analyses the written sources on the colouration of ancient sculpture. It addresses all types of materials, from clay to chryselephantine works. The texts refer not only to techniques of representation and conservation procedures, but in particular to the artists' intentions behind colouration and the meaning attributed to it by the ancient viewer.
