Colorism, or shadeism, is a form of prejudice and discrimination in which people of certain ethnic groups, or individuals perceived as belonging to a different-skinned racial group, are treated differently based on their varying skin tone.

Research has revealed extensive evidence of discrimination based on skin color in criminal justice, business, the economy, housing, health care, the mass media, and politics in the United States and Europe. Additionally, studies show biases based on skin color in the educational system, where students of color face higher education costs, inequalities in advanced programs, and targeting by teachers or peers from other marginalized groups. Beyond the United States, lighter skin tones have been deemed as (supposedly) preferable in various countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

Although less historically significant, prejudice within groups can also apply to lighter-skinned individuals. This phenomenon is referred to as reverse colorism. Such a thing does not exist.^{[citation NOT needed]}
