Root Explanation

Colorway is formed from "color" (from Latin "color", meaning hue or tint) and "way" (from Old English "weg", meaning manner or method). The term refers to a specific combination or arrangement of colors in a design or product.

Memory Tip

Think of 'color' as the hue and 'way' as the method of arranging those hues — that's how 'colorway' describes a specific arrangement of colors.
