The Color of the Clouds (Spanish: El color de las nubes) is a 1997 Spanish drama film directed by Mario Camus which stars Julia Gutiérrez Caba, Ana Duato, Antonio Valero, and José María Doménech.

The plot revolves around a house in a Cantabrian village owned by Doña Lola, from which a series of intertwined subplots spawn.

Lola and her niece Clementina agree on hosting a Bosnian refugee child (sabotaged by impostor kid Bartolomé), an old fisherman and Lola's friend (Colo) finds a drug cache nearby, the former house owner's son tries to evict Lola, and Clementina develops a romance with a lawyer (Valerio).

[2] Jonathan Holland of Variety deemed the film to be Camus' best for some years, "a complex but uncomplicated, lyrical but hard-edged adventure-cum-mood piece, with the kind of luminous maturity and compassion to seduce offshore arthouse auds".

[4] Ángel Fernández-Santos of El País considered that Camus manages to "firmly hold on a fairly complex but fragile storyline", with the result of a "noble and solid Spanish film".
