FIL: Anumang sustansya, likido man o pulbos, na ginagamit upang magbigay o magpalit ng kulay sa isang bagay.
EN: coloring agent, dye, colorant
It's the magic stuff that makes things less boring. From the food coloring in your ube ice cream, the dye for your 'tie-dye' project, to the 'atsuete' that gives your afritada its signature color. A pangulay is what you use when you want to tell the world, 'No, this isn't just plain white, this is *fiesta* level.'
From `pang-` (instrument for) + `kulay` (color). Note the morphophonemic change where `k` is dropped and `ng` is used in assimilation.
ROOT MEANING: color
The form 'pangkulay' is also very common and acceptable. 'Pangulay' is the result of natural assimilation in Filipino phonology.
