hair line

English translation: fine line

Photography/Imaging (& Graphic Arts) / Picture hop flavour wheel
English term or phrase: hair line
Written by a Japanese.

Text:
Figure 3. Flavor profiles of model solutions (5% v/v Ethanol, Carbonated) containing 4MSP and/or the three monoterpene alcohols: 4MSP, containing 40 ng/L of 4MSP, LGC mix, containing 70 µg/L of linalool, 50 µg/L of geraniol and 30 µg/L of β-citronellol; *hair line*, profile of 4MSP model solution; dotted line, profile of LGC mix model solution.

Unfortunately I cannot copy the picture here but I can send per mail if anyone is interested.
I see in the profile:
a fat purple line, a thin green dotted line and a thin orange solid line and I suppose this is the "hair line". Any idea what one would call this line? Just solid line will not work as there are other solid lines in black.
TIA
