banding
Creating colored rings
Banding is the act of marking or organizing with bands—strips that encircle or distinguish.
Scientists band birds by attaching small rings to their legs for tracking: The researchers spent the morning banding migratory songbirds.
Banding also describes visual patterns of distinct stripes or zones: The banding on the rock revealed millions of years of sediment layers.
In printing and digital imaging, banding is an unwanted effect where smooth gradients appear as visible steps or stripes.
