A color cathode-ray tube having a face glass (1) coated with a plurality of phosphors (6B, 6G, 6R) different in luminescent color, the face glass (1) containing a colorant imparting a selective characteristic for absorbing light in the wavelength regions between the luminescent wavelength regions of the phosphors, (6B, 6G, 6R) and a colorant suppressing the light transmittance in the visible region, wherein the light transmittances in the luminescent wavelength regions shorter than the highest-visibility wavelength region are at least about 5% lower than the light transmittance in the highest-visibility region, while the light transmittances in the luminescent wavelength regions longer than the highest-visibility wavelength region is higher than the light transmittance in the highest-visibility region.
