In this paper we study the enumeration of k-colored skew Dyck paths. We first give a counting formula and a recurrence for s_n and the limit of s_n/s_{n-1}. We then give the countingformulas of the $k$-colored skew Dyck paths with semilength naccording to the number of left steps and the number of peaks,
valleys and double rises
