Relating to or characteristic of colorism, or relating to the use and application of colors in art.
From 'colorist' + '-ic' (adjective suffix). Can apply to both the artistic technique of color application and the social practice of colorist discrimination.
Art historians use 'coloristic' to praise masters like Titian who used color itself as a primary tool for emotion and meaning, not just as filling for line drawings—it's why his paintings seem to glow.
