Színbeli

Színbeli is a Hungarian adjective formed from the noun szín, meaning color, and the suffix -beli, which denotes belonging to or relating to. The resulting term roughly conveys a meaning of “color-related” or “in color.” It is not as common as the more general színes, which translates to colored or colorful, and its use tends to be limited to specific or formal registers.

In contemporary Hungarian, színbeli may appear in technical, academic, or literary contexts to emphasize color-specific aspects of an object, dataset, or presentation. It can be used to contrast color-based properties with non-color-based ones, such as color versus monochrome or grayscale distinctions. Because színbeli emphasizes the color dimension, it often appears in phrases describing visual characteristics, imaging, or color-coding schemes.

Typical usage patterns include combinations such as színbeli fotó, színbeli adatok, or színbeli megjelenítés, though these forms are relatively rare compared with more common alternatives like színes fotó or színes adatok. The suffix -beli is productive in Hungarian for creating adjectives that specify a domain or category, and színbeli is one of several color-related formations.
