English term

Quarry color

English to Spanish Other Textiles / Clothing / Fashion
I need to know the equivalence (if exists) of the color "quarry"

Example: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81VhQ9tvEAL...

Thanks in advance.-

Francisco: I realize you are new to the site, but ProZ has some guidelines for asking questions.
http://www.proz.com/siterules/kudoz_asking/2.9#2.9
2.9 Guidelines: "Help" KudoZ should be used for requesting terms help after having searched the KudoZ term search and other resources. When asking a question, sufficient context should be provided. Even when there is no other context, the subject area and type of document should be indicated. It can be helpful to enter sentences or paragraphs where the term in question occurs. See a more detailed description http://www.proz.com/faq/70204#70204.
I personally don't think that "product description of a textile product" is sufficient context, but I have said my part already (in comment box) and will therefore, leave this question to others to "argue" over. Please, however, review the above links for future use. Warm regards.

Hello everyone.

First of all, thank you for your answers. About the context, is a product description of a textile product.
Thanks again.

@ John Try the last two links (not the 1st one, where I got the RGB/HEX values), and you will see what I mean:

http://www.taubmans.com.au/colourcentre/colour-details/72062...
COLOUR INFORMATION QUARRY
BRAND: BRISTOL REF: P198-N4 **RGB: R193 G183 B164 HEX: HC1B7A4 LRV: 48.9**

RGB 193, G193 B164 when I put this into a Word document, the colour is identified as "Tan".


http://www.workwithcolor.com/color-converter-01.htm
Using R 193, G183, B164, and putting in the HEX code "C1B7A4", it then shows Web color "cococo Silver"
Web Safe Color CCCC99" . What I did not put in as I saw no option was the LRV. But I don't fully understand all the choices!!! LOL!

@ Francisco: Please see Taña's request. It is very important, as otherwise our proposals are just mere guesses...

@ Taña, totally agree with what you are saying!
Taña Dalglish Jul 10, 2016:
@ John As I said before there are too many variables. For the Asker to merely say "Textiles / Clothing / Fashion", and then attach an "example", and I stress "example" (not necessarily related to his text) without any further context is asking for trouble in my opinion.

@ Francisco, can you please provide us with contextual information (I understand the need for confidentiality) but a picture of a bolt of fabric, IMO is not enough, as there are too many variables (e.g. manufacturers, etc., etc., etc.). Thank you.
JohnMcDove Jul 10, 2016:
@ Taña, thank you for your excellent input (as usual). The "Satin Quarry Beige" may be in right path. I believe the asker should give as much contextual data as he can, as otherwise, to answer with certainty becomes "difficult" at best. I don't know if may be better to leave "Quarry" untranslated, as in "color 'quarry'"... http://loseta.com.mx/busqueda.html?q=cantera I found this... but who knows. Best. :-)
Taña Dalglish Jul 10, 2016:
@ John John: https://www.pantone.com/downloads/products/pdfs/F&H_Color_Lo... Quarry is on page 17 - Pantone No. 15-4305 TC

However, with no context whatsover, and just a picture to go on (as posted by the Asker, the issue of colo(u)rs is very tricky as there are so many variables. John, I am not trying to be argumentative in any way, but IMO, the link posted by the Asker does not look grey to me.

Furthermore, I found these which show a colour closer to the Asker's link and in the first link it says the "Colo(u)r Family is "Beige/Cream". So I dunno???

http://www.homedepot.com/p/Jeff-Lewis-Color-5-gal-JLC214-Qua...
Color Family: Beige / Cream

http://www.universalanodisers.com.au/sampreq.php
Here it refers to "Satin Quarry Beige"

Regards.

gris / gris pizarra / gris ceniza

Literalmente sería "gris cantera"... (por el color de las rocas de una cantera...)

Pero lo mejor sería tener el código Pantone para ver la mejor equivalencia.

Te aporto algunas opciones, aunque no estoy muy seguro de la exactitud.

Saludos.

No sé si será una "traducción" calco, pero aquí usan "color cantera":

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nueva-Sin-Etiquetas-Travis-Mathew-St...

Aquí tienes "cantera rosa"...
https://color.adobe.com/CANTERA-ROSA-TONOS-color-theme-71689...

Supongo que "cantera" se podrá usar como adjetivo del color, sea este ocre, beige, rosa o gris...

Aunque como te digo, estoy suponiendo.

Algo de contexto del uso, como tela, tal vez pueda ayudar a determinar mejor si existe un equivalente unívoco que pueda servirte.

Saludos cordiales.
