                      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
                              Lachsilber - Dark Silver - Lack-sill-berr
                              Below the radar...

                                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
