Usage Note

Türkisfarben is the colour adjective for a turquoise hue, slightly more descriptive than türkis alone. Used in fashion and design: ein türkisfarbenes Kleid. The base türkis already exists in the word list, but türkisfarben is a distinct descriptive form.

Examples

"Das türkisfarbene Wasser des Sees wirkte unwirklich schön."
