The Colour and the Shape on Foo Fightersin toinen studioalbumi ja se ilmestyi vuonna 1997. Albumin julkaisi Capitol ja Roswell records.
The Colour and the Shape albumia pidetään Foo Fightesin parhaana albumina ja se myi hyvin ilmestyessään. Oikeastaan albumi on virallisesti vasta Foo Fightersin ensimmäinen koska debyyttialbumi oli enemmänkin Dave Grohlin sooloalbumi. Levyn tunnetuin kappale on Monkey Wrench, josta tehtiin myös musiikkivideo. Muita tunnettuja kappaleita levyllä olivat Everlong ja My Hero. Albumi nousi ilmestyessään Billboard 200 albumilistan #10. sijalle Yhtyeen uusi rumpali Taylor Hawkins soittaa rumpuja kaikissa muissa kappaleissa paitsi kappaleissa Doll, Up in Arms ja My Poor Brain joissa rummuissa on William Goldsmith. The Colour and the Shape on myös ainoa albumi jossa kitaraa soittaa Pat Smear, joka vaikutti myös grunge-yhtye Nirvanassa vuosina 1993-1994.
