colorlessly

/ˈkəɫɝɫəsli/ adv

In a colorless manner.

Word Origin Colorlessly is the opposite of colorfully, using the Old English suffix -less meaning 'without.' So it's literally 'without color.' The Latin color root, from PIE *kel- 'to cover,' reminds us that color is a covering, and colorlessly means lacking that covering, bare and unadorned.
