Could somebody please tell me what the Gaelic translation of "white" would be?

That's all. Simple translation. -_-;;

It is "dubh" in Scottish too.

Someone's blonde hair is "ban".

"Geal" tends to be used about skin and also white wine (Fion geal)

The use of "fionn" is a little more complicated.
