Definition
Colored in a way that contrasts with or opposes a main or expected color; having colors arranged opposite to each other.
Etymology
From counter- (against/opposite) + colored (having color). Color comes from Old French coulor, from Latin color, of uncertain origin, possibly related to celare (to hide/conceal).
Kelly Says
Countercolored animals—like zebras with reversed stripe patterns or birds with inverted plumage colors—are rarer than normal but show how evolution sometimes produces unexpected variations.
