English term or phrase: colorant

Vad är skillnaden mellan dye och colorant? Båda förekommer i en uppräkning av vad man kan tillsätta till en polymer. (Även pigment förekommer men det har jag översatt med färgpigment.)

färgtillsats

Explanation:
Tricky stuff. It may well be right that "colorant", "dye"
and "pigment" are the same thing, I am not sure.
("Pigment", however, makes me think of a powder, before mixing
it in). One of the common problems in translation is that it
can uncover fuzzy thinking on the part of the original author.
And how do you translate fuzziness?
