Provided is a slide fastener capable of actively showing a color of a fastener element row from a space between right and left fastener tapes in order to enhance chromatic design characteristics of the slide fastener. A fastener element row (30) is a coil-shaped fastener element row of synthetic resin. A fastener element (31) has an engagement head portion (31 a), a first leg portion (31b), and a second leg portion (31c). The first leg portion (31b) is in tactile contact with a fastener tape (20), whereas the second leg portion (31 c) is not in tactile contact with the fastener tape (20). The first leg portion (31b) is colored of a different color than the fastener tape (20) and the second leg portion (31 c) so that through a space (S) between the one pair of fastener tapes (20), the color of the first leg portion (31b) is visible.
