color blocks
Pigmented rectangular shapes
Color blocks are solid areas of distinct, usually contrasting colors placed adjacent to each other without gradation or blending.
The term appears in fashion, graphic design, and art to describe bold arrangements where each color occupies its own defined space: a color block sweater, color block the living room walls.
As a verb, to color block is to arrange colors this way.
