EN: to make pale; to lighten a color
This is what you do in Photoshop when the color is too loud. 'Bes, masyadong matapang yung red, magpapusyaw ka ng konti.' It's the opposite of saturation. It can also describe someone's face when they see their credit card bill after the 12.12 sale.
From `magpa-` (causative prefix) + `pusyaw` (pale).
