Japanese to English translations [PRO]
Cosmetics, Beauty / eyeshadow color

Japanese term or phrase: ひだまり色

Despite a good number of Google hits, there are no useful photos and I can't find what to call this color in English. It seems to be a peachy/cornmealy/pale orange shade, but surely there's an English equivalent. Help!

Linguistically, himadari 日溜り means 'sunny spot', which further backs my suggestion of 'sunny color'.

I hope this would be of any help, Morales-san.

The website is not of cosmetics, but it does show the color.

sunblush

Explanation:
I have seen cosmetic shades called "sunblush" and "sunkissed" before now. Although I don't think they refer to a colour as such, I do think as an "image" of a colour hue they can work.
