Italian term or phrase: bianco carrara, rosa portogallo, colore naturale
questi colori si riferiscono rispettivamente al marmo, a delle alzatine di legno e ad una portaconsolle. Il testo parla di mobili da bagno.

white Carrara, Portuguese pink, natural finish
Explanation:
I'm pretty sure your alzatina is not wood at all, but marble, as Portuguese pink is a marble color. (see, for example: http://www.sculpt.com/catalog_98/stones/Marbles.htm)
I would simply use 'natural finish' for the third material (a metal?), though if you need to emphasise the color (or if the finish isn't natural), I'd call it natural color.

Dipende dal pubblico


Explanation:
Il "bianco Carrara", per esempio, è ben conosciuto dagli amanti dell'arte, ma se la traduzione, per esempio, è destinata ad un pubblico di gente straniera di media cultura (o media ignoranza?), il fine riferimento può essere perso o anche superfluo. A quel punto è meglio trovare qualche altro equivalente del tutto libero, tipo "snow white" (!) o non so cosa.
Lo stesso dicasi per gli altri due colori. Sei l'unica che può valutare davvero la situazione.
