Dithering

Dithering: A method of controlling how colours specified by a given colour composition are approximated on a display system or in a file format that does not have the specified colour available. Graphics software usually allows you to choose from various types of dithering, for example: solid (for no dithering), error diffusion, random, and pattern.
