There is provided a radiation-sensitive composition for forming a color filter used for a solid-state image sensing device excellent in resolution without generating residues and scumming on a silicon substrate or a silicon nitride substrate. The radiation-sensitive composition for forming the color filter for the solid-state image sensing device contains (A) a pigment, (B) a dispersant, (C) an alkali-soluble resin, (D) a polyfunctional monomer, (E) a photopolymerization initiator, and (F) a compound represented by the following formula (1): ##STR00001## wherein R.sup.1 to R.sup.8 each denote independently a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or a monovalent organic group. There is provided a color filter using the composition.
