color coordination
Hues working together
Color coordination is the practice of selecting colors that work well together, especially in clothing, interior design, or visual presentation.
Someone with good color coordination matches or complements hues effectively: Her color coordination is impeccable—everything works together.
The skill involves understanding which colors harmonize and which clash.
