I am helping edit some text that an artist wrote about his work. He is discussing the limited color palette, and he used the term 'spot colors'.
I clarified with the artist that he does not mean a specially mixed ink for offset print, but rather a color used sparingly for a few details in the piece. I wouldn't call them 'accent' colors because they are not bold or prominent... is there a better term or description?
Have you heard this (mis)use of the term 'spot color' before?
