Primary Colors is a 1996 novel by Anonymous (later revealed by Donald Foster to be journalist Joe Klein), a Roman à clef about Bill Clinton's first presidential campaign in 1992. The book centers around Henry Burton, who's roped into being something of a campaign manager for southern governor Jack Stanton (Bill Clinton).

The popular book (a success in part fueled by speculation over the identity of the author) was made into a 1998 movie starring John Travolta, Emma Thompson, Billy Bob Thornton, Adrian Lester , Kathy Bates, and Maura Tierney. Kathy Bates was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the movie.
