In Ghost Colours is the second studio album by Australian electronic music band Cut Copy, released on 22 March 2008 by Modular Recordings.[4] It comprises 15 tracks, including a re-recorded version of the single "Hearts on Fire". The album was originally planned as an Australian release for 2007, but was delayed until 2008 to accommodate a simultaneous international release of the recording.[1]

At the J Awards of 2008, the album was nominated for Australian Album of the Year.[5]

The album was produced in New York by Tim Goldsworthy, although the band's US label Interscope initially suggested they work with Timbaland.[6] As of June 2008, the album had sold 24,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.[7]
