dithering

Can't choose syndrome

Dithering is hesitating or wavering indecisively: Stop dithering and make up your mind.

The word suggests nervous vacillation rather than thoughtful deliberation.

In computing and graphics, dithering is a technique that uses patterns of dots or pixels to simulate colors or shades not directly available, creating the illusion of smoother gradients or additional tones.
