Hi Penny,
To me, it sounds like the texture of the silk has the appearance of Porpoise
skin. I am not reading a color, but then, I don't know much about that time
frame for garments.

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.
