Colour of the Trap is the debut solo album by English musician Miles Kane, released on 6 May 2011. The album peaked to number 11 on the UK Albums Chart.

Clémence Poésy is featured on the track "Happenstance" and Noel Gallagher is featured on the track "My Fantasy".

Three singles were released from the album. "Inhaler" was the first singled to be released, peaking at number 171 on the UK Singles Chart. "Come Closer" was the second single to be released from the album, reaching 85 on the UK Singles Chart. "Rearrange", the album's third and as yet final single, peaked to number 149 on the UK Singles Chart.

The album received generally positive reviews. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 73, based on 15 reviews. All-noise said "Colour of the Trap is a promising and entertaining first solo effort, if he can get the mix of attention-grabbing chart fodder and deeper, engaging album tracks right then you get the feeling Miles Kane might just become unstoppable", while Scotsman.com said "He has the tunes, but occasionally sounds strained with the effort of being hip and popular. The retro hang-ups get in the way of something undeniably modern. Colour of the Trap is one of the few to escape that syndrome." Jamie Crossman from NME said "‘Colour of the Trap’ isn’t quite a perfect debut, but by stepping out from the shadows, Miles Kane has come away smelling of roses."
