(Papier aus) Navy-Seide

Johannes hat völlig korrekt übersetzt.

Da es aber um eine Verpackung und noch dazu um Mode geht, warum sollte man den 10.000 Farbschattierungen (von denen wir Männer ohnehin nur 5 oder 6 sehen können) nicht noch eine hinzufügen? Navy-Seide hört sich doch richtig "en vogue" an, oder?
Peer comment(s):

agree LegalTrans D : auch noch nachträglich: "Navy-Seide" ist einfach umwerfend stark, Herbert.

note:


Navy - marineblau, of course

shot: woven so as to present an array of colours; having a changeable colour; variegated, as silk. (defined by Random House Dictionary)


Shot Silk:
Silk woven with one color in the warp, and another in the weft. Produces a color-change effect in changing light conditions. (Silkworkers' Notebook)

Effect: Effekt/Wirkung.

This is paper with silk effect NOT Silkpaper, which is expensive, made with silk threads and used for woodblock prints, caligraphy etc. I doubt that silkpaper would be used for packaging.


Hope this helps make the English clear - now perhaps colleagues out there could improve on something like:

marineblaues Papier mit ombriertem Seideneffekt.

Good luck!
Peer comment(s):

neutral LegalTrans D : "Seidenpapier" isn't made of silk, yeswhere, it just feels a bit like silk (well, not really), and it is frequently used for packaging.

Thanks, good to know! I won't use it when I mean Silkpaper in English.
