Colart, or the Colart Group, is a large international supplier of art materials, with subsidiaries and brands such as Winsor & Newton, Liquitex and Lefranc & Bourgeois.[2][3] The group's head office is situated in London.

Colart was established in 1992 as a wholly-owned subsidiary for the art materials segment of AB Wilh. Becker. As such it is also a wholly-owned second-tier subsidiary of Lindéngruppen, a privately held company based in Höganäs, Sweden.[1][4]

The Colart Group has ten production facilities based in the UK, France, and China.[5]

In 2017, Colart became the main owner of Elephant Art, publisher of the art magazine Elephant.[6]
