posterization

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.02 sec.

posterization

The effect produced when a photographic image is displayed or printed with a small number of colors or shades of gray. For example, displaying color photographs or video with 16 colors produces a visible posterization, but the images are discernible. At 256 colors, the flesh tones on color images are still mildly posterized. For realistic flesh tones, it takes 65K colors. For absolute realism, it requires 16M colors.

Posterization - 128 Colors
These examples show how an image posterizes as fewer colors are used to display it. The picture above is displayed with 128 colors, and each of the following pictures is halved.
