colorings
Dyes and pigments
Colorings are substances added to food, cosmetics, or other products to give them a particular hue: artificial colorings, natural colorings.
The term also refers to the characteristic colors of something: the distinctive colorings of tropical birds.
In a figurative sense, colorings are qualities that influence how something appears or is perceived: political colorings in the reporting.
