It definitely acknowledges our biases better than "spectrum", although I think they want varying degrees of each component, and we don't usually take a little of this star and a little more of that one. I might've recommended "palette" if asked before spectrum got traction. Or maybe we don't need a better word at all, maybe we should try grouping the characteristics differently such that they're no longer all together under the same heading. (I'm not qualified to say, just a hunch).
