màu keo
Definition
- Noun:

Notes on Usage
- The term "màu keo" directly translates to "glue paint" or "gum paint," referring to the binding agent. In fine art contexts, it is best translated as tempera. In everyday or commercial contexts (e.g., paint for children), it may refer to what is commonly known as poster paint or gouache. The specific meaning is often clarified by the context of use (historical art vs. school crafts).
