värvitud

Värvitud is an Estonian adjective that functions as a past passive participle. It is formed from the verb värvima, meaning to color or dye, and describes something that has already received color.

The term is commonly used to describe materials and surfaces that have been colored, dyed, or printed, such as textiles, paper, wood finishes, and coatings. When used in a noun phrase, värvitud indicates that the color treatment has been applied rather than inherent color.

Common examples include värvitud lõng (dyed yarn) and värvitud paber (colored paper). The form agrees with the noun in number and case, as with other Estonian adjectives, so it changes according to grammar while retaining the same basic meaning.

In usage, värvitud emphasizes the outcome of a coloring process rather than the process itself, making it a practical descriptor in textiles, crafts, manufacturing, and documentation where finished appearance is relevant.
