Kahrobaee

I always understood Kahrobaee as assali, maybe a little darker than assali like a yellowish brown, but if the eye color in the picture is kahrobaee, then now I know how to describe my own eye color in a poetic way :o)

Thanks Mehrnaz jan

kahroba is amber and of course, as you know, amber comes in many shades and colours! However, the most usual is reddish light brown. I think the eye colour above is perhaps kahrobayi!!! I think it is more a poetic description.

Zaagh, is greenish light brown eyes, as far as I have always understood it!!!

Please Translate these :)

The meaning of some of these words is obvious, for example, black, but what are the others? There is a couple for which I do not know the English equivalent.

Could someone please translate Zaagh and Kahrobaee to English?

Thank you in advance :)
