1 . An absorbent article, comprising an absorbent body having a shape made of fibers, wherein the absorbent body has a colored fiber layer colored in a different color from a color of any member other than the absorbent body across a whole in a front-back direction and a width direction thereof, and the colored fiber layer is visually recognizable from an outside. 2 . The absorbent article according to claim 1 , wherein the absorbent body has a colored fiber layer located closest to a back face side and a non-colored fiber layer located on a front face side of the colored fiber layer. 3 . The absorbent article according to claim 2 , wherein the colored fiber layer is set to a layer not containing high absorbent polymer particles, and the non-colored fiber layer is set to a layer containing high absorbent polymer particles. 4 . The absorbent article according to claim 1 , wherein the colored fiber layer has a slit penetrating the colored fiber layer in a thickness direction. 5 . The absorbent article according to claim 4 , wherein the colored fiber layer is provided with an excretion indicator at a position overlapping a formation position of the slit. 6 . The absorbent article according to claim 1 , wherein the colored fiber layer is colored in a color, value of which in a Munsell color system is in a range of 4 to 9. 7 .
