A crystalline silicon (Si) nanoparticle (NP) of 100–200 nm in diameter exhibits a highly saturated color owing to Mie resonance, and can be a component to realize angle‐insensitive structural color covering the entire visible range. However, to date, coloring a substrate by Si nanostructures has only been achieved in a very small area by using electron beam lithography and dry etching processes. In this work, a Si NP color ink capable of coloring a flexible substrate by a painting process is developed. The sphericity of Si NPs is very high; the circularity factor obtained from a transmission electron microscope image reaches 0.97. The average diameter of Si nanospheres is controlled from 95 to 200 nm, and the polydispersity defined by the standard deviation divided by the average diameter is as small as 6%. Because of the high sphericity, high crystallinity, high size purity, and perfect dispersion in solution, the Si nanosphere solutions exhibit vivid colors recognizable by naked eye in a range of blue to orange. The Si nanosphere color inks combined with a polymer binder are capable of coloring flexible substrates by a painting process.
