French term or phrase: tramé
Target=UK

Context: powerpoint presentation referring toa product range and giving details of the corporate brand identity.

Under Brand Colours we see 4 different shades

Grey
White
(PMS 7529U) tramé
(PMS 7529U)

Some of the other questions in relation to this word lead me to believe that this could be 'screened', but I prefer to ask the specialists first.

I've put this under Graphic Arts, since I believe graphists are the most likely to know the answer straight away.

Thanks in advance

half-tone
Explanation:
Pantone 7529u is a grayish shade, do you see the same colour, with one in a half-tone? If so I believe tramé would be half-tone.

I don't have an example link for you yet. I never needed to work with half-tones, so I am giving this a medium confidence until I can confirm further.

agree  Tony M: Usually 'screened', but I think 'half-tone' probably works best here -- though the context isn't entirely clear to me?
