limited palette
Few chosen hues
A limited palette is a deliberately restricted set of colors, typically in painting or design.
Artists choose to work with fewer pigments—sometimes just three or four—to achieve color harmony and force creative problem-solving: She painted the entire series using a limited palette of earth tones.
The concept extends to any intentional constraint on available options: The film's limited palette of grays emphasized the bleakness.
