@sweda,
When l googled it, the answer came up as CARROT JUICE/POWDER or PAPRIKA. Hope this helps, good luck,.
@Pearlylustre,
Where did you find that word?
@sweda,
All l could come up with that might help is SLANT/SHIFT, any good?
@margsy,
I'd go with
shift:
Quote:Contrivance:
Synonyms 2. Plan, invention, design; machination, stratagem; Device, Shift, etc.
As for annatto:
Wiki wrote:Using annatto for color has been a traditional characteristic of Gloucester cheese since the 16th century when producers of inferior cheese used a coloring agent to replicate the orange hue achieved by the best cheesemakers.
That's to say, a contrivance..
@margsy,
Hi Margsy
When I was an apprentice at a well known British chemist, we stocked ANNATTO it was used to colour butter.
