color shift

Gradual hue change

A color shift is a change in the perceived or actual color of something.

In photography and printing, colors may shift when translating between media or light sources: The sunset looked orange in person but showed a purple color shift in the photo.

Pigments and dyes undergo color shifts as they fade or react chemically over time.

In design, intentional color shifts create visual effects or indicate state changes.
