Complete misunderstanding of the phrase, excessive love of em-dash, emoji headings, and over-explains various information that doesn't really matter. Mind you, even if written by a human it'd still be a completely wrong answer. | |

It’s a perfectly common, everyday word used in regular conversation by regular people in completely non-technical, non-nerdy, non-engineering contexts. I don’t think colour is particularly vivid or emotionally resonant either (though it is of course metaphorical, but so are lots of regular words – infuse, shape and inform would be equally metaphorical in this sentence). | |
