Radiative cooling technology is gaining prominence as a sustainable solution for improving thermal comfort and reducing energy consumption associated with demands. To meet diverse functional requirements such aesthetics, switchable cooling, camouflage, colored smart windows, color often preferred over white opaque appearance in the design of radiative materials. Colored (CRC) has emerged prevailing not only achieving colorful but also increasing effective solar reflectance to enhance performance (through incorporation fluorescent materials). This paper reviews recent advancements CRC its profound impact on savings real-world applications. After introducing fundamentals characterization, various photonic approaches are explored that leverage resonant structures achieve coloration comparing them conventional methods based optical materials like pigments can convert absorbed ultraviolet light into visible-light emission. Furthermore, review delves self-adaptive featuring dynamic modulation responds temperature fluctuations. Lastly, potential application assessed, comprehensive outlook their future development offered, critical challenges practical applications discussed.
