Is there a defined way to say "to be dyed {color}" other than {nguv 'oH.
Doq.} or something similar with an explicit conjunction? 

There's a part of me that wants to say {DoqmoHlu'}, but I've never seen
that in use, even in a non-canon context. 

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).

Sorry, I should have said nguv 'oH; Doq it is stained red/orange. I always forget nguv is be dyed and not dye (something).
