I can just about guarantee it's a less-well-known term than "theme", as far as theme's usage to signify changing or customizing the colors of software. As in, way more people who aren't nerds will see "theme" and know what it means as it relates to software, than will see "colorways" and even have any point of reference for its meaning to maybe figure out the connection. Probably more people know what "Pantone" means, than "colorways". It's that obscure and jargony.

I learned the meaning in the comments here! Not a spring chicken.
