Abstract
In this work we extend two dual color decompositions of Yang-Mills amplitude to one-loop level. Starting from double-copy expression we translate the Yang-Mills integrand into the dual Del Duca-Dixon-Maltoni formulation and subsequently to the dual color-ordered formula. The dual trace factors are obtained after simultaneously solving the one-loop Kleiss-Kuijf relations, the reflection relation, and the relation that expresses the kinematic factors in the dual Del Duca-Dixon-Maltoni form.
