colourlessness
Absence of pigment
Colourlessness is the quality of lacking colour—a transparent liquid has colourlessness, as does a faded photograph.
Figuratively, it describes anything bland or unremarkable: The colourlessness of his prose put readers to sleep.
The word suggests absence where something vivid might be expected.
Also spelled colorlessness.
