Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a negative resist composition that is useful for producing a color filter with a high transmittance of light at a wavelength of 440 nm. A negative resist composition of the present invention comprises a colorant and a resin, wherein the colorant contains a xanthene dye, and a cured film formed from the negative resist composition exhibits a spectrum that satisfies the following condition 1: [condition 1] a maximum absorption wavelength is present in a wavelength range of 500 to 580 nm, and based on a transmittance at the maximum absorption wavelength being 5%, a transmittance at a wavelength of 440 nm is 80% or more and a transmittance at a wavelength of 620 nm is 80% or more.
