Provided is an organic pigment composition for color filters, which can be used preferably for a color filter that allows to produce a liquid crystal display device which has excellent heat resistance, a brighter display screen, and accordingly higher brightness; a method for producing the same; and a color filter which includes the organic pigment composition for color filters. The color filter has higher heat resistance by using the organic pigment composition for color filters which includes a phthalocyanine pigment and a pigment derivative in which the ratio of a multi-substituted phthalimide alkyl group to the whole amount of the pigment derivative is limited.
