English term or phrase: Pixie Pow
This is a name of colour and once again and I can't seem to find the right French name for it. Any ideas for Pixie Pow in French? Thanks a lot

French translation:poudre de fée
Explanation:
... on the grounds that I don't think it actually denotes a specific colour in English either. I don't think it denotes more than a vague notion of girlish sparkling/glittery type of pastel colour -- a sort of Tinker Bell-type mood.

The phrase "poudre de fée" is commonly used to sell that type of image/mood, including with vague colour associations. See the links below.
