色しき彩さい
色彩 is a general term for 'color' or 'coloring', while 極彩色 specifically emphasizes extreme richness or vividness of colors.
派は手で
派手 means 'showy' or 'flashy' and can describe appearance, behavior, or style; 極彩色 focuses on the intensity and variety of colors themselves.

Compound of 極 (ごく, 'extremely') and 彩色 (さいしき, 'coloring'). The irregular reading ごくさいしょく likely arises from a common misreading of 彩色.
