Farbbad
Farbbad is a German term that translates to "color bath" and refers to a process used in textile dyeing or other coloring applications. In the context of textile dyeing, a farbbad is the solution containing the dye that is used to impart color to fibers, yarns, or fabrics. The materials are immersed in this liquid bath, allowing the dye molecules to penetrate and bind with the textile. The concentration of the dye, temperature of the bath, and duration of immersion are critical factors in achieving the desired shade and colorfastness.
The term can also be used more broadly to describe any situation where an object is submerged
