Colour clock for indicating the time with the aid of colours, provided with an annular coloured reference ring (2) and a first colour area. The reference ring has a continuous gradation in colour in the circumferential direction, each colour occurring only once. The first colour area (4) is of a first colour which is the same as the colour of the reference ring (2) at a first pointer angle from a reference point (5), the first pointer angle corresponding to that portion of a complete circle that equates to the time divided by a first time period.
