Etymology
The word comes from the triliteral Semitic root ل-و-ن (l-w-n), which carries the core sense of color or hue. The base noun لَوْن (lawn) means color, and the Form II verb لوّن (lawwana) means to color or to paint something. مُلَوَّن is the passive participle of that verb, so it literally means made colored, that is, colored or colorful.
