<p>翠 stands for 翠水 'blue green water' </p>

<p>烟 stands for 薄烟 'thin smoke'</p>

<p>I've stumbled upon these words and I can't get the proper English translation for them.</p>

<p>At first I thought the 翠 here describe the color of 烟衫, but after trying to find more example, I found that they are usually accompanied by 'color' in front of them. For example:
- 碧绿的翠烟衫
- 蓝色的翠烟衫
- 黄色的翠烟衫</p>
