tintadas

Tintadas is a term used in Spanish and Portuguese to describe items that have received a tint or dye. It is the feminine plural form of tintado/tintada and functions as an adjective or past participle agreeing with feminine nouns. The word can apply to a range of contexts where color is added or altered by tinting. Common examples include dyed hair (cabello tintado), tinted windows (ventanas tintadas) in vehicles or buildings, and tinted lenses or sunglasses (lentes tintadas). In photography and art, tintadas can describe images that carry a color cast added during processing or editing.

In everyday usage, tintadas often refer to the result of intentional color modification. Legal and regulatory contexts may also apply, such as rules governing window tint darkness in different jurisdictions, which specify permissible levels of tint to balance visibility and privacy. Etymologically, tintar comes from the broader family of words in Romance languages derived from Latin tinctare, meaning to dye or stain.
