The Colour of My Love Tour was the sixth concert tour by Canadian singer Celine Dion. It was launched in support of her third English‑language studio album, The Colour of My Love (1993). The tour included performances in North America, Europe, and Asia, where Dion presented songs from the album alongside material from her earlier releases.

History Dion's first headlining tour in the United States brought her to 10 cities, from San Francisco to New York, in early 1994. Reviewing the final New York performance for New York Newsday, Elisabeth Vincentelli observed that Dion appeared increasingly confident performing in English: "Ad-libbing between songs, Dion managed to seem down-to-earth and accessible. Whether this was consummate manipulation or spontaneous joy, she pulled it off with gusto and humor".

Her concerts at the Montreal Forum in late March 1994 ranked on Pollstar'''s year-end chart of the Top 200 Concert Grosses, earning $1,002,003.

The set list drew primarily from The Colour of My Love and Dion's earlier English-language albums. It also included several French-language selections and a number of covers, such as "Calling You", "River Deep, Mountain High", and "Can't Help Falling in Love".

From 8 June to 27 August 1994, Dion joined Michael Bolton on his "The One Thing Tour" across the United States. They performed in large arenas and outdoor amphitheaters, marking their second consecutive sold-out tour together.

Set list The following set list is taken from the US leg of the tour and does not represent all concerts.

"Where Does My Heart Beat Now" "Everybody's Talkin' My Baby Down" "If You Asked Me To" "Only One Road" "Beauty and the Beast" "Misled" "L'amour existe encore" "Water from the Moon" "Unison" "When I Fall in Love" "Think Twice" "Love Can Move Mountains" "The Colour of My Love" "The Power of Love" "Can't Help Falling in Love"

Notes In French‑speaking countries, Dion also performed selections from her French‑language repertoire. During the later part of the tour, Dion added renditions of "River Deep, Mountain High" and "Calling You". At the concerts held on 27–29 September 1994 at the Olympia in Paris, Dion focused primarily on material from Dion chante Plamondon.
