French term or phrase: vibration propre
This is talking about the logo of a company and the colors of it. I believe this is specifically referring to some lines that are possibly border lines or colors used on all of their official documentation. Does anybody know the specific word used in graphics to describe this in the context below?

Context:

La vibration propre à Compagnie X

TONALITé
La vibration et les couleurs associées
Quatre tailles de vibration au choix
La vibration simple (S) : son épaisseur ne peut excéder 10 mm de haut.
La vibration medium (M) : son épaisseur est variable et ne doit pas être inférieure à 5 mm et supérieure à 14 mm.
La vibration large (L) : son épaisseur est variable et ne doit pas être inférieure à 15 mm et supérieure à 40 mm.
La vibration extra-large (XL) : peut être utilisée à un très grand format.

neutral  Tony M: This is certainly what I was thinking of, though I'm still not sure if 'vibration' is used in this sort of graphics context in EN?

  -> You are dead right about "vibration", I just threw this in because of the adjective. I could find nothing about "vibration" on company logo sites!!

neutral  Anne-Marie Grant: Liz - do you think it could be 'vibrancy' ?

Abstract The proper vibrations of homogeneous and isotropic space are characterized by the autonomous conservative oscillation of spatial volume element. The conserved energy of oscillation is different from zero only when the space has positive curvature, and hence, it is closed. However, the oscillations of volume element of closed space imply the change in the signature of first metric form of space-time. This means that the metric actually has singular points.

Own vibration for Company X


Explanation:
Sounds like graphic designer hokum to me, probably in a sense different from this one: "Complementary colors are separated by another color on the color wheel. Complementary colors printed side by side can cause visual **vibration** making them a less than desirable combination. However, separate them on the page with other colors and they can work together."

Be shameless and go with the same word in English.
