Maze

English to French Other Textiles / Clothing / Fashion
New colours have been added to update the Spring palette including cool blue, moon stone, lipstick pink and maze which bring a whole new freshness for Summer.

Il s'agit d'une traduction pour une marque de vêtements. À quoi correspond "maze" en français dans ce contexte ? Pour moi, ce mot ne signifie que "labyrinthe, dédale", je ne comprends donc pas ce qu'il vient faire dans une liste de couleurs.

Merci de votre aide !
Proposed translations (French)
4 couleur maïs
2 +1 fleur de muscade (macis)

@ Asker Could this text have been dictated using DNS, maybe? "Moon stone" and "maze" in place of moonstone and maize. It might pay you to read the text out loud before you research further terms! :)

@ emiledgar et writeaway Ne croyez-vous pas que la nuance de jaune du maïs (de l'épi) c'est "poussin"? (mais pas citron)
emiledgar Apr 27, 2013:
@ writeaway My first thought exactly: maize
Pierre Souris Apr 27, 2013:
maize colour J'aurais dit "jaune poussin" correspondant à la couleur des épis de maïs s'il s'agit bien de "maize". Je pense que la coquille "maze" est plus logiquement à l'origine "maize" que "mace"???

resh Mace has a bright red colour which turns dark-orange when dried. High quality dried Mace retains its orange colour for a long time. Although some varieties are also found in creamy or brown colour.

En effet, c'est bien possible.
neutral Sheila Wilson : I'm not sure enough English speakers would know what colour mace is. I'm not aware of the word as a colour.
