'color-boosting' originates from the combination of 'color' and 'boost,' where 'color' refers to the visual perception of hues and 'boost' means to enhance or increase.

'color-boosting' evolved from the need to describe products or actions that enhance the vibrancy of colors, particularly in marketing and product descriptions.

Initially, it meant 'to enhance color,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
