colorers
Those adding pigment
Colorers are people or things that apply color.
A child with crayons is a colorer; so is software that adjusts image hues.
The term appears most often in compounds or technical contexts: food colorers, hair colorers.
In figurative use, colorers shape perception: colorers of public opinion.
