Gum of Lightness and other french translations

[Freakazoid - Frenching With Freakazoid] So, to clarify, I play the game in English. My friend @Malentir pointed out to me the bad french translation of the Lightness Gum, so I proposed him to write this thread for him : [Gum_of_Lightness] Luminosité = Luminosity, and we can all agree that this gum isn’t the one that gives the glowy boon. In this context, Lightness should’ve been interpreted as Lightweightness, or in French : “Gomme de Légèreté”. That prompted me to restart th…

Nous en étions arrivé aux suggestions suivantes :

Bright Red

Currently, “Bright” is translated as “Clair”. If you change “Light” to “Clair” (as it should be), then you need to replace “Bright” too. I suggest “Brillant” as a replacement.

Stark Red

Stark Red is currently translated as “Rouge foncé”, which is pretty much like saying “Dark red”.
The way I see it, it’s intended to be like “Impacting Red” or “Striking Red”.
In which case, I suggest : Rouge Éclatant / Impactant

Shadow Red

Rouge Ombreux - Currently “Rouge Ombre”, just doesn’t sound as cool IMHO

Silk Red

Currently translated to “Rouge soie”, which could be better, IMO :
Rouge Soyeux / Soie rouge

Cool Red

So, to be clear, when you say “Cool Red”, you do not mean “Cool” like you’d say “It’s hot today, I need a cool beverage”.
I’d guess it’s “Cool red” as in “it’s calming to look at”.
In which case, I’d suggest “Rouge Reposant”

Some more colors!

Teal : Cyan (currently is “Bleu clair”, which can be translated to “Light blue”)
Tan : Beige (currently is “Brun clair”, which can be translated to “Light brown”)
Cherry : Cerise (currently is “Rouge cerise”, or “Red Cherry”, which is unneeded)

• Bright → Radieux (unless you plan on using “radiant”).
• Cool → Doux (directly translate to “soft”, but gets the point of “cool” across).
If “cool” refers to the fact that it’s not a warm color, “Fade” works (it’s less strong than English “faded”, just means that it’s not bright). “Terne” also works in that sense (translates exactly to “Dim”).
• Stark → Pur (for “pure”). Saisissant (for “you can only see that one”). Captivant (for “captivating”).
• Rust → Érodé (from the French verb “to rust”).
• Viridian → Viridien (Wikipedia also says “Viride” but never heard of that).
• Berry → Prune (that’s “plum”, but that’s the fruit we use for that color)

• Weary → Ancien / Vétuste / Défraîchi
