agree  Lubosh Hanuska: Go literal if there is no context...! These are obviously colour combinations that might need to be seen to be translated better.

Explanation:
if there's no more context, that's the more literal translation, and that's I'd go with...

Maybe, if you've got a creative impulse, try "deep brown," "pure white," and "light brown".

agree  hgrant (X): There is also snow-white, magnolia-white etc.....In English there are different " shades of white" The same applies to the other colours. Just pop down to the local DIY store, or see their colour range on the net e.g....( www.b&q.co.uk, www.dulux.co.uk..)
