true color
Real underlying nature
True color describes the genuine nature or character of something, especially when revealed after being hidden: The crisis showed his true colors.
The phrase usually appears in the plural and often carries a negative implication—someone's true colors tend to be worse than expected.
In digital imaging, true color refers to a color depth of 24 bits or higher, capable of displaying millions of colors and approximating what the human eye perceives.
