Relating to or describing the coloration pattern of a coccus bacterium or similar spherical organism.
From 'coccus' plus Greek 'chroma' (color) plus '-atic' (relating to), meaning 'relating to the color of cocci'.
While this is a legitimate scientific term, it's rarely used because modern microbiologists describe bacterial colors more precisely using spectrophotometry rather than descriptive color terms.
