Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature / adult romance novel
English term or phrase: lurid
"As for the thickly painted outlines beneath the spikes, the only recognizable image was that of an enormous, chartreuse penis with lurid orange balls."

A narradora está descrevendo uma pintura.

Pelo menos dois dicionários pesquisados trazem a tradução incorreta ("lúgubre"), que tem tudo a ver com morte e nada a ver com o contexto. rsrs

Enfim, esta foi a definicão que eu encontrei e que me parece a correta:

(of a description) presented in vividly shocking or sensational terms, especially giving explicit details of crimes or sexual matters.
"the more lurid details of the massacre were too frightening for the children"
synonyms: sensational, sensationalist, exaggerated, overdramatized, colorful; salacious, graphic, explicit, unrestrained, prurient, shocking; gruesome, gory, grisly; (informal) juicy, full-frontal

Qual seria uma boa tradução para PT-Br? Obrigado!
