colorway

One of many various configurations for the color scheme for shoes. For example, Blue/White and Black/Red/White are two different colorways for one shoe model. The term is not limited to shoes, but that is the most common usage. Commonly used in skateboarding.

Those Green/White and Black/Orange colorways for the éS Accel's are pretty wacky.

colourway 

A term, used by trainer fashionistas, to describe a particular colour combination used in the design of an item of footwear. Also used by said cognoscenti to identify those in the know (obsessive seakers of elusive, very limited colourways) from mere mortals (those foolish enough to buy any old mass-produced colourway).

This word can, I reckon, be applied to any article, or item that is available in a variety of colour combinations.

"If you didn't already know about the super-limited Futura colourways on the new Bathing Ape ***** you don't deserve to own them."

Colorwashing 

In film and TV when historically or canonically white characters are portrayed by people of color for the sake of diversity. This does not fall under the scope of "colorblind casting" because though colorwashing is accepted and even encouraged in the industry, the reverse (casting white people into historically or canonically people of color roles) is extremely frowned upon.

Tom: "Yeah, it's just a bunch of colorwashing."
