The practice or process of reversing or exchanging positions, colors, or patterns to create symmetrical or alternating designs.
From counterchange + -ing (gerund/present participle). Describing the active process of applying the counterchange design principle.
Counterchanging appears in nature too—some butterflies have counterchanged wing patterns where the pattern on one wing is the exact opposite of the pattern on the other, creating perfect bilateral symmetry.
