color burst
Sudden vivid splash
Color burst refers to a brief test signal in analog television broadcasting—a precise reference pulse that calibrates color information so receivers display accurate hues.
The term also describes any sudden splash of vivid color: The garden was a color burst of tulips in spring.
In photography and design, color burst often names an effect where colors radiate outward dramatically.
