Parure

French to English Other Wine / Oenology / Viticulture
Belle parure au grenat lumineux.

Do I just leave it as Parure and not translate it?

Apr 4, 2008 10:59: French Foodie changed "Level" from "Non-PRO" to "PRO"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (3): Emma Paulay, Colin Rowe, French Foodie

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.

Not surprisingly, the French have more words for this sort of thing....
You can say things like "beautifully clear", "tremendously bright" etc
Allison Lenchantin (X) (asker) Apr 4, 2008:
Color I am familiar with robe and color, but they use some interchangeable vocabulary which makes me want to hesitate:

Parure
Robe
Tunique de couleur

I do not want to always USE robe and color. Hoping to find another alternative, but maybe there isn't one.

Means the same as colour. Google 'wine with ruby red hues'...

tone

Another option to colour and hue. In your context (belle parure), you could write "nice tone".
