Hi everyone
How would you translate "bone-coloured" in the following sentence: the moor was turning bone-coloured as the light went.
La lande perdit son éclat / pâlit / changea de couleur / se voila... but the idea of "bone-coloured" gets lost and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions?
Many thanks.
