polychromous

While Hong’s new paintings still have a polychromous and musical quality, she contains her painterly eruptions within the confines of the mandala, an ancient diagram used as a meditative aid in many cultural and spiritual traditions.

In October Hearst announced his own new color section: "eight pages of iridescent polychromous effulgence that makes the rainbow look like a piece of lead pipe."

The pillars and the columns seemed to strike firmly into the ground in order to upbear the weight of the mighty stones placed on the cubes of their capitals, the walls to slope inwards so as to have a firmer foundation, and the stones to join together so as to form but one block; but polychromous decorations and bassi-relievi hollowed out and enriched with more brilliant tints added, in the daytime, lightness and richness to these vast masses, which when night had fallen, recovered all their imposing effect.
