| | English translation:discover the sea in all its splendour... | Explanation:
This French phrase is quite an idiomatic one (the French use it all the time) and is used to qualify many things, from the sea, a town, intelligence, a person, etc, etc. In this case, yes, it may indeed be right to talk about the colours here given the context (an island, tropical no doubt, etc.), but it should not always be taken so literally...
A more broader comprehension of this phrase talks about all the aspects of something (for example when used in relation to a town or region, one would be referring to the multi-facetted nature... i.e. art, culture, wine, food, landscape, history, the people, etc, etc.) |
