colourings
Hues applied artificially
Colourings is the British spelling of colorings—substances added to food, cosmetics, or other products to change their appearance: The label listed artificial colourings among the ingredients.
The word also refers to the natural hues of animals or plants, or to the act of applying colour: The bird's colourings help it blend into forest foliage.
