What is a "colorway"?

I keep seeing this term used but I have no idea what it is!

It’s just the yarn-method of saying “color and pattern” - so that, for instance, the Blue Sky Alpaca Silk I bought in a pretty lavender shade is Colorway #114 - Wisteria. And the KP Shimmer I have that’s variegated in shades of pink and yellow is Colorway Happy Dance.

Middle part for me, about 35 mi south of Music City USA.

The other common usage is when a pattern or kit is available in multiple colour schemes; Say, for example your choice between a blend of blues and greens
OR reds and oranges

That makes sense in the context I saw it used!
