This article explores topics related to conforming interpretation in the decisions of the Colombian Constitutional Court. For this, it explores not only its different dimensions but also its implications within the legal system and its relationship with the principles, standards, and parameters of constitutional control. The paper is divided into four sections. First, it provides a conceptual framework of constitutional interpretation and its modalities. Then, it describes the methodology used to collect the court decisions. The third section presents the results obtained from the case law analysis. Finally, some reflections and proposals are put forward to discuss the advantages or limitations of the category under study.

Keywords : Constitutionalism; judicial branch; constitutional control; constitutional interpretation; conforming interpretation.
