*DoqmoHlu'*/it is made red/orange./ This doesn't explicitly say that dye
or staining was involved; it could just as easily apply to a pale person
getting a sunburn.
On the other hand, there's no reason you can say it in two sentences.
Klingon does that a lot. *'oH nguvlu'pu'; Doq*/It has been tinted
red/orange/ (literally, /it has been dyed/stained/tinted; it is
red/orange/).
