recolouring
Altering the shade
Recolouring is the British spelling of recoloring—changing or restoring the colour of something.
The term applies to hair dye touch-ups, photo editing, fabric restoration, or digital work: She's recolouring the faded upholstery.
In comics and graphic design, recolouring often means updating old artwork with new colour palettes.
