Italian term or phrase: Colorazione
Nel documento che sto traducendo si parla delle varie fasi di lavorazione delle compresse. Una delle fasi descritte e' la "colorazione". Non riesco a capire se e' possibile tradurre tale termine con "coating"oppure se e' corretto utilizzare "coloring". Qualcuno potrebbe consigliarmi?

Grazie in anticipo

Explanation:
ciao. Effettivamente qui il contesto fa moltissimo per poter arrivare a tradurre nel modo ottimale. Coating è una sorta di "cappottamento" di una superficie, come quando si ricoprono con il catrame i tetti dei garage. Per la colorazione tout court direi piuttosto: colouring

Example sentence(s):
