An object of the present invention is to provide a polarizer having a neutralized hue without any increase in transmittance. A polarizer of the present invention having a transmittance parameter represented by the equation (1) of 0.8 or more and a hue parameter represented by the equation (2) of 5 or less: Transmittance parameter=T420/T550  (1) in the equation (1), T420 represents a parallel transmittance at a wavelength of 420 nm and T550 represents a parallel transmittance at a wavelength of 550 nm; Hue parameter=(a2+b2)  (2) in the equation (2), a represents a parallel hue value ‘a’ and b represents a parallel hue value ‘b’.
