Từ đồng nghĩa

add slight color to something
To add a little color to something so it is not completely plain or clear.
Mẫu sử dụng:
to tint [something] [color]
Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners sometimes use "paint" instead of "tint" for glass or photos (e.g. "paint the windows"), but "tint" is used when some transparency or the original look remains. They may also overuse "dye" where a light change is meant; "tint" is better for a gentle color change.
Từ đồng nghĩa
dye (Often suggests a stronger or more permanent color change, while "tint" usually means a lighter or more subtle change.)
Từ trái nghĩa
bleach (Means to remove color from something, which is the opposite of adding color by tinting.)

cosmetic product for coloring hair
A hair-color product that changes your hair color a little, often not forever.
Mẫu sử dụng:
a tint for [someone]'s hair
Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners often use only "hair dye" and do not realize "tint" can refer specifically to a gentler, often semi-permanent hair color. In salons and product labels, "tint" frequently suggests a softer color change than a full dye.
Từ đồng nghĩa
dye (General word for a substance that colors hair; "tint" often suggests a lighter, less drastic, or semi-permanent color change.)
Từ trái nghĩa
natural (Refers to hair that has not been colored with any product, which contrasts with hair treated with a tint.)
