The term is generally informal and can be used affectionately or descriptively. A väripää might be someone who experiments boldly with their wardrobe, expertly matches accessories, or has a strong opinion on the color schemes of interior spaces. It's not a technical term but rather a colloquial way to acknowledge someone's chromatic sensibility.
