Also known as a "translucency", a backdrop painted with dyes rather than paint, and intended to be lit from behind. If representing a city skyline, may be a combination of buildings done with paint, and windows done with dyes, so they illuminate when backlit.

The effect is similar to a scrim, except that one cannot see through/behind it.
