Definition
Family; a term used in art history to describe a color scheme or style (particularly in Chinese porcelain, as in 'famille rose').
Etymology
From French famille (family). Used in English art-historical contexts, especially for describing Chinese porcelain decorated with families of related colors.
Kelly Says
Famille rose, famille verte, and famille noire are technical art-historical terms for Chinese porcelain styles, and the word 'famille' was chosen because the colors are used as a harmonious family—it's a poetic way to describe color relationships.
