Provided is a pigment dispersing composition for a color filter including a color material, a resin, and an organic solvent which may dissolve the resin, wherein a modified pigment (D) is contained as the color material which includes, on the surface of a pigment (A), a polymer (P) obtained by polymerizing a polymer (B) containing a polymerizable unsaturated group soluble in a non-aqueous solvent and at least one type of polymerizable unsaturated monomer (C) which is soluble in the non-aqueous solvent and becomes either insoluble or poorly soluble following polymerization.Alternatively provided is a pigment dispersing composition for a color filter including a color material, a resin, and an organic solvent which may dissolve the resin, wherein a modified pigment (D) is contained as the color material which is obtained, under the presence of a pigment (A), a non-aqueous solvent, and a polymer (B) containing a polymerizable unsaturated group soluble in the non-aqueous solvent, by polymerizing at least one type of polymerizable unsaturated monomer (C) which is soluble in the non-aqueous solvent and becomes either insoluble or poorly soluble following polymerization.
