Dither

Dither is like adding tiny speckles of color to make a picture look smoother. Imagine you have a piece of paper and you want to color it in. But instead of using only one color, you use lots of tiny dots of different colors. When you step back and look at the paper from far away, it looks like one smooth color.

Dither is when you use lots of tiny dots or pixels of different colors in digital images or music to make them look or sound smoother or more natural. Just like with coloring on paper, if you use only a few colors or notes, things can look or sound choppy or unnatural. Dithering helps create the illusion of more colors or notes than are actually being used, so things look and sound better.
