I am working on a 1916 designers' fashion catalog. I am not sure if
something is a color or not. Please read the following ladies'
dress description and let me know if you think porpoise is a color
or what. The color "dove" is not capitalized when used as a color
name. But the word "Porpoise" is.
DESCRIPTION:
"Dove" colored gabardine, with trimmings of navy blue. "Porpoise"
skin silk. Vest and collar of white organdy. Smoke pearl buttons
and buckle. Coat of navy blue "Porpoise" skin silk. Collar and
cuffs of "dove" gabardine.

Since the second reference to "Porpoise" skin is for the navy blue
coat, my guess is that the "Porpoise" skin refers to the texture of
the silk, not the color.
