Also means
pairing (of colours or elements)
Usage Note
Accostamento comes from accostare (to bring close together, to juxtapose) and refers to the act or result of pairing things — especially colours, materials, or flavours. Un accostamento cromatico (a colour combination) is common in design and art criticism. It implies intentional juxtaposition rather than a random mixture.
Examples
"L'accostamento di blu e arancio è audace."
Natural Translation
The combination of blue and orange is bold.
