Hey y'all, I am blanking on a word so hard I am even blanking on the words to describe that word What's the term for like...groups of colors? color palettes but more specific? I'm looking for the generic term, but the specific words that are versions of that generic I can think of are things like earth tones, jewel tones, pastels, and maybe brights/neons I'm trying to figure out other categories like those but I cannot figure out what the word is to search

#crowd sourcing brain function because mine is not working #what is that called????? there has to be a like overarching category name for those #normally when I forget a word I can work around it in a way that makes it easier to come up with the word #when I was little I read a book that mentioned every piece of data in your mind has a pathway to get to it #and if you only have one connection to that data point when the path breaks you lose it #but if you have multiple paths to get there you can lose one path and still be able to find the data #(like I could remember shark facts by thinking about carnivores or weird teeth or shark jaws or non-human sensory perceptions) #idk if that is true??? but it was like. formative to me as a small child #so I deliberately made multiple associations to anything I learned from that point on #to the point where it kind of became second nature #which is good for me now that my brain is uhhhh not operating full speed #because I can work around a mental block (usually) and come up with the word #but I cannot remember this one!!! and it's frustrating! I'm just spinning through loose associations trying to find one that connects #my brain is a mush of half remembered art terms at the moment and I am getting no closer to figuring it out lol
