French translation:(petits) bouquets de fleurs

Explanation:
I think this might work as it conjures up a miscellany of colours in the mind's eye

the reader will surely imagine an array of colours and that's what is meant here IMO

I'm not sure if it's possible to portray a single colour here but sometimes there are colours composed of various hues ...

"pot(s)-pouri(s) de fleurs" as an alternative (both suggestions figurative of course)
