Yarn, especially hand-dyed yard, frequently has a number of colors evident in it, and expressing that as a colorway with a name (such as the one my wife used for a scarf she knitted for me, "Bourbon Barrel") is likely to be more succinct and clearer to the end-user than "brown and tan and black with specks of blue." So, no, it's not a stupid word, nor is it a stupid concept.
Speaking of colors and names, I really appreciate how The Army Painter has started to include "objective" color names on their newer paints (the Speed Paints 2.0 line and the Warpaints Fanatic line). So while the main name on the label is still going to be something like "Night Sky", "Burning Ore", or "Talisman Teal", they also have smaller print saying "Black Bluish Grey", "Vivid Reddish Orange" or "Vivid Bluish Green".
 

He played on the Queen Mary a number of years ago. I thought it would have been great if he had come out on stage and said, "I like big boats and I cannot lie!"

Oh my God, Becky, look at this boat, it is so big, ugh
The Queen Mary looks like one of those tech bruhs' super yachts, but, ugh, you know
Who understands those tech bruhs? Ugh, they only buy those yachts
Because they have such small pen self-worth, okay?
I mean, this boat, it's just so big
Ugh, I can't believe it's just so massive, it's like out there
I mean, ugh, gross, look, ugh, the Queen Mary packs it in the aft.

I wonder if knitter forums have a snarky thread where they complain about RPG jargon. They're probably too busy actually enjoying their hobby to care about RPG jargon.

The circle is now complete.
If I've learned one thing from spending years on hobby-centric forums, it's that there's a whole heap of people in any hobby... Who spend too much time complaining online about their hobbies on hobby-centric forums.

If I've learned two things from spending years on hobby-centric forums, it's the use of the term color-way. I've seen yoyo manufacturers market new available colors as "New Colorways" or "Exclusive Colorways"

Example: "Look at all the cool colorways available for the Recess HyperNova!"
