When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Offert en rose antique et en bleu roi Pour changer.
B D Finch Jan 16, 2019:
Royal navy vs French navy What is known in Britain as "navy blue" (presumably Americans add "royal" to indicate that this is a British navy blue) is a darker and warmer blue than "French navy". So, "bleu marine" might be a bit misleading.

"In Hardy Amies' ABC of Men's Fashions, he has this to say about blue suits -
In Britain, a blue suit has for too long conjured up a picture of a "Sunday-go-to-meeting" suit in blue serge, either too dark (that is to say, too much like the true navy blue that is almost black) or in what one calls a bad navy, one that is too purple. In point of fact a good navy is a very becoming color to almost everyone, male or female. It is not actually navy blue at all, but what we would call a French navy, a light navy with a green cast and never a red."

Note also that "old rose" in English has romantic overtones of traditional, old English roses rather than modern hybrids. The colour is a dusty pink.

"Rose ancien" me semble plus accrocheur Vieux rose ou rose ancien désignent généralement des roses un peu décolorés, grisâtres. --- https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_(couleur)

Merci pour vos réponses, je trouve que vieux rose ne fait pas trop "vendeur" mais si cette couleur est officielle, pourquoi pas ?

disponible en vieux rose et en bleu marine

vieux rose existe comme couleur
Royal Navy blue est à vérifier si vous avez des photos du produit mais bleu marine semble suffisant

neutral B D Finch : Royal blue is a bright blue, not a navy blue. "Royal", here, qualifies "navy", not "blue".
