Pronunciation: [kˈʌlə hˈe͡ɪz] (IPA) 
Colour haze is a visual phenomenon where colours blend and become indistinct, creating a hazy effect. The spelling of "colour" in this phrase follows the British English convention, which adds the letter "u" after the letter "o" to create the sound /ʌ/. The phonetic transcription of "colour haze" is /ˈkʌl.ər heɪz/. The letter "r" in "colour" is pronounced, as is the letter "h" in "haze", which creates the sound /heɪz/.
"Colour haze" refers to a visual phenomenon characterized by a diffuse, hazy appearance of various colors, often observed under specific atmospheric conditions. This optical phenomenon occurs when light is scattered and refracted by tiny water droplets or particles present in the air, resulting in the diffusion of light and alteration of its perceived color.
The occurrence of colour haze can vary depending on different factors such as the size and concentration of the particles or droplets in the atmosphere, the angle at which light interacts with these particles, and the overall atmospheric conditions. This phenomenon is commonly observed during certain weather conditions, such as foggy or misty environments.
When colour haze occurs, it typically manifests as a soft, blurred appearance of vibrant hues, resembling a translucent veil or a gentle gradient of various colors. The specific colors perceived in a colour haze can vary, often comprising a mix of shades including blues, purples, pinks, and oranges.
The term "colour haze" is not limited to any specific context and can be used in various fields such as meteorology, photography, and art, where it is often associated with conveying a dreamy or ethereal ambiance. Additionally, the experience of colour haze can be subjective and may differ from person to person based on individual perception and the surrounding environmental conditions.
