<p>I presume you're aiming for a single color that is a mixture of
dark blue and gray, not two separate parts of the alien that are,
respectively, dark blue and gray.</p>
<p>Don't start your translation using English terms. English color
words are too different from Klingon color words. Instead, start
over, describing the desired color using only Klingon terms. The
color you're trying for might be <b>SuD nov 'ej qIj</b> or <b>SuD
nov 'ej qIj 'ach wov</b> or something like that.</p>
