What does “la teinture” mean?
“La teinture” refers to both the dye used to color materials and the process of dyeing itself. It’s used extensively in various fields such as textiles (e.g., fabric dyeing for fashion), personal grooming (e.g., hair dyeing), and arts and crafts. While it holds significant cultural value in many societies, the environmental impact of synthetic dyes is a concern, prompting a shift towards more sustainable dyeing practices.
