The word "colorway" just reminds me of a dabacle with a certain browser.
Does it mean anything more than "color" or "color scheme"? Do humans use the word in real life? I've never heard it outside of marketing copy.

I am not a native English speaker, but isn't "color" more ambiguous than "colorway"? If I say "The red color is gorgeous", I could or could not be talking about a product. If I say "The red colorway is gorgeous", I am definitely talking about the color of a product.
"Colourway" is just marketing-speak that is not common outside of tech reviewers.
This needs a big dose of YMMV, I think. I've heard the term way more outside of tech, especially for footwear and in skateboarding.
