"Coloris"-- as opposed to the "disegno" technique that was also popular in Italy at that time with artists like Michaelangelo. With disegno figures look more chunky and solid and are almost outlined, but with coloris figures are more gently shaded and almost fade into the background. The lines are softer and not as heavy or solid.
