Colored powder

There are things that are just too common that people don't even talk about it. In the music video of Regina Spektor "Fidelity" two people are throwing colored powder on each other. I have also seen many festivals and events that use such powders but I know they are not just colored powder.

Now I was able to learn about it, some people call the stuff Gulal powder and is often associated with the Holi Festival in India. From stuff I read online most of the colorants used before were natural dyes but now synthetic dyes are also used.

The best thing to throw at other I think is colored powder
