tinter

One who hues

A tinter is a person or device that tints—applies color or shading to something.

The term appears most often in automotive contexts, where a tinter applies window film: The tinter finished the car in under an hour.

In other trades, a tinter adjusts paint colors or adds tonal variation to photographs or prints.
