pure white/white


Explanation:
Em inglês existem muitos nomes para as várias tonalidades de tinta branca, mas os 2 básicos são "white" e "off-white" - você pode usar simplesmente "white", se quiser, ou "pure white", se achar mais adequado.

agree  Enza Longo: I would stick to plain ole 'white'

  -> Thanks, Enza...me, too.
agree  Wagner Azevedo: O dicionário de Collocations Oxford registra os seguintes adjetivos para white: [dead, pure][bright, brilliant][bone, creamy, icy, milky][dirty, off-][plain] - Qual será o branco light?
1 hr
  -> Could be bright or brilliant, but many companies make up names, like "lily white," dazzling white," etc., so it's impossible to say. Definitely not "bone, creamy, or milky."

dim white


Explanation:
dim = lacking of brightness, kind of pale.

Example sentence(s):
  • Melatonin sensitivity to dim white light in different seasons
  • Nevertheless, there has been a school of thought that a very dim white light will serve better than colored light

neutral  Enza Longo: dim in your example is an adjective for light, not white - dim light not dim white

Light White


Explanation:
Memso sendo um pouco estranho, eu materia uma tradução bem literal já que a nome da cor (me parece qe) se refere ao nome dado pela fábrica (Prodec) ao laminado "branco light" usado para o revestimento do móvel.
A tradução literal facilitaria na compreensão de uma futura correlação entre os produtos em inglês e português.

agree  Alexandra Valle Fernandes: Sem ver a "cor" do dito branco é difícil escolher outro adjectivo para ele, uma vez que todos os sugeridos têm uma "cor" bem definida. Se usar "marble white" as pessoas esperam ver essa "cor" e pode não ser o caso. Tb pode consultar cliente...
