maj. however this raises two questions :

wa': if we are on a planet which has no atmosphere (which I think
causes the sunrise/sunset to be colorful), then these words have no
application right ?

cha': read this sentence:
{qaStaHvIS tlhom chum dog vIqotlhtaH}
while the colorful sunset is happening I am tickling the dog.

would you accept it ? It talks of a visual experience, however it
suggests a time period as well. so what do you think ?

There is, however, a verb, {nguv}, which means something like "be dyed, stained, tinted", though it is seldom used except in the phrase {chay' nguv} ("How is [it] tinted?") or when suffixed with {-moH} ("cause") in the form {nguvmoH} ("dye, tint, stain"; that is, "cause to be dyed," etc.) - for example, {ret'aq nguvmoH} ("He/she stains the knife handle").
