Thanks. I think the addition of 'formal' is important here given the contrast with later more 'informale' (abstract) works.

Notes to answerer
Asker: I did think of 'composition' but wasn't sure this was the meaning - I need to fit the 'formale' bit in somewhere too... thanks!

  -> Thanks!
agree  James (Jim) Davis: It think composition is right, I don't think you need "formal". I would drop "scheme", sounds like interior decor.

  -> Yes thanks-you're probably right about dropping scheme-'colours' suffices
