            Hope this helps to clear things up a little more.

                            Funny, if you ask me.

                                        That's how the company rep I talked to pronounced it.

                                                        It'd be better to just CLARIFY what the real color names are.... SO many wrong names.

                                                        Zinobrot - Cinamon Red. Zin-oh-bro-t
                                                        Bronzit - Metallic Gold - Brawn-zit
                                                        Schwarz - Black - Sh-war-z
                                                        Alpinweisse - Alpine White - Al-pine-why-ss
                                                        Henarot - Hena Red/Orange- Hen-a-wrote

                                                            Not quite.

                                                            Lach = salmon, like bagels and lox (or lachs)

                                                            Lachsilber = salmon silver

                                                            Think of the shiny side of a King salmon and you get the idea.

                                                            Lachsilber - Dark Silver - Lack-sill-berr
