Answering a couple of your comments briefly:
blabi means "white", but when used to modify colors means what most people
mean by "pale", i.e. light blue is a whitish-blue.  For a pale that is
non-intense, the word is kandi, and blonde might be considered krekandi
except that some people have what is termed "luxurious blonde hair" which is
not particularly pale - of course it usually comes from a can. carmi kandi
anyone?

A lerfu is meant to refer to what we in English call "letters" symbols on a
page or other medium, but generalized to include numbers and other symbolic
'marks'.  The general term for any sign or symbol is "sinxa" and is not limited
to visual effects or to simple ones.
