A color commentator is a North American term for a sports commentator who assists the main commentator, often by filling in any time when play is not in progress.
In other regions this role is variously referred to as an analyst or summariser.
The color analyst and main commentator will often exchange comments freely throughout the broadcast, when the play-by-play announcer is not describing the action.
The color commentator provides expert analysis and background information, such as statistics, strategy and injury reports on the teams and athletes, and occasionally anecdotes or light humor.
Color commentators are often former athletes or coaches of the sport being broadcast.
