It looks to me like this puzzle is:

FLOWING!

Why? First note that:

There are two dots of each colour in every grid. Each pair can be joined by a continuous line of cells in a way that ensures every cell in the grid is shaded (much like a game of Flow).

Their solutions are as follows:

Solved Flow grids

ThereNext, there seems to be some sort of hint to the right of the vertical dividing line in the image...

[From OP] ...the symbols on the right indicate three things - the "no eye" icon indicates its brailleBraille, the eyedropper indicates colour values, and the plus sign shows the colours are added together. Taking the RGB values of the dots in the grid and adding them together in certain ways will give the RGB value of the colour in the brailleBraille grid.

   So for instance, the bottom left colour is RGB(160,143,116) which is made by adding red, orange, green, blue and violet. Finding the combinations for all 6 cells and looking at them in ROYGBIV order gives the brailleBraille for OVERLAY.

Understanding the Braille clue

We can then...

... use this to overlay the grids, by examining the cells occupied by each colour, across all the grids combined. The results form shapes in which the unshaded squares form recognisable letters of the alphabet (or an exclamation mark in the case of white - see below). If we take them in rainbow order (ROYGBIV) with white at the end, we spell out the word FLOWING! - an appropriately descriptive word given the name of the game it resembles!
