Foundations for the topic of crystallizations are proposed through the more general concept of colored triangulations. Classic results and techniques of crystallizations are reviewed from this poit of view. A new set of combinatorial invariants of manifolds is defined, and related to the fundamental group and other known invariants. A universal group theoretic approach for this theory is introduced.
