cores de canela e de areia do deserto


Explanation:
«Tan» tanto pode ser canela (cor) como bronze (cor). Mas penso que neste caso serão tons mate e não brilhantes. O mais adequado é o termo canela (para definir tons castanhos e beijes).

neutral  Anna Bajor-Ciciliati: A forma "beije" existe em português somente como imperativo do verbo "beijar". Não creio, no entanto, que foi isso que você quis dizer ;). A ortografia correta da cor é "bege": http://www.infopedia.pt/diciope.jsp?dicio=15&Entrada=bege
