This invention relates to colorants represented by the formula EQU Bi.sub.2 A.sub.x-1 D.sub.x O.sub.y PA1 wherein: A is selected from the group consisting of Bi, Ba, Sr, Ca, Y, La, or a mixture of two or more thereof; D is selected from the group consisting of V, Mo, Mn, Ti, Ta, Nb, W, Sb, Fe, Cr, Sn, Ce, or a mixture of two or more thereof; x is a number that is at least 1; and y is the number of oxygens needed to fulfill the valence requirements of Bi, A and D; with the proviso that when A is Bi, D is other than a mixture consisting of V and Mo. These colorants are useful in providing colored compositions including: organic compositions such as plastics, rubbers, and the like; inorganic compositions such as ceramics, porcelain enamels, and the like; and coating compositions such as paints, printing inks, and the like; etc. The invention also provides for processes for making such colorants and for making such colored compositions.
