Concolour

/kənˈkʌlər/ adjective

Definition

Having the same color throughout or uniformly colored without variation in hue.

Etymology

From Latin con- (with, together) + color (color), combining to mean 'of one color.' The term emerged in natural history and biology to describe organisms or objects with uniform coloration.

Kelly Says

Ornithologists use this word to describe birds that are the same color all over—like a raven or crow—which actually helps them blend into their environment better than you'd expect because there are no contrasting patches to catch a predator's eye.
