congruity
State of agreement
Congruity is the state of being in agreement or harmony—when things fit together properly.
A room's décor shows congruity when colors and furniture complement each other.
The word applies to ideas, behaviors, and values that align: There was little congruity between his promises and his actions.
The opposite is incongruity.
