chromatism
In optics, chromatic aberration (CA), also called chromatic distortion and spherochromatism, is a failure of a lens to focus all colors to the same point. It is caused by dispersion: the refractive index of the lens elements varies with the wavelength of light. The refractive index of most transparent materials decreases with increasing wavelength. Since the focal length of a lens depends on the refractive index, this variation in refractive index affects focusing. Chromatic aberration manifests itself as "fringes" of color along boundaries that separate dark and bright parts of the image.

In physics, specifically optics, chromatism refers to distortions in color due to the failure of a lens to focus all colors to the same point, also known as chromatic aberration. In music, chromatism refers to the use of tones outside the major or minor scales, and in visual arts, it can refer to the use or arrangement of colors.
