I am not a native English speaker, but isn't "color" more ambiguous than "colorway"? If I say "The red color is gorgeous", I could or could not be talking about a product. If I say "The red colorway is gorgeous", I am definitely talking about the color of a product.
- delecti 1y agoThat's a good point. Saying you like the red "colorway" would make it clear that you're talking about the overall presentation, rather than commenting only on the red part of the overall product.
- frosted-flakes 1y ago"The red one is gorgeous" would be the idiomatic way of saying that. Adding the word "colour" is redundant. "Colourway" is just marketing-speak that is not common outside of tech reviewers.
