I think what you are referring to is minking....
("Minking" is a new hair coloring technique in which highlights are painted on the bottom layers of hair to make dark colors glow. )

It's called "streaming". One colour on the top half, and another on the bottom.

peek a boo highlights?

If the color is dark on the top and the lighter color on the bottom I think it's called peek a boo highlights which is what I got. my aunt who is a platform stylist for aveda called it that.But maybe that is not what you are talking about

highlite V/S lowlite.
That's what you ask your color technician.
