color change

Shifting visual spectrum

A color change is a shift from one color to another.

The term applies broadly—chemical reactions that produce visible color shifts, seasonal changes in foliage, chameleons adapting to surroundings, or hair dye transforming brown to blonde.

The litmus paper underwent a color change from blue to red.
