She seized his wrist is translated.."Elle lui saisait le poignet."  Why is the "lui" there?

How do you describe colors that are not the basic color wheel hues like red, blue, green, purple?  For example, if I wanted to describe a pale peachy-pink?  Rose is too broad.  I am an artist and I want to be able to describe in French colors more specifically. Merci.

My answer to...

À ce moment-là, les étoiles ________ dans le ciel.

was "sont apparus". This is wrong because I didn't know that étoiles is feminine. But the only correction given was "ont apparu".

Hello,

I had a question on this translation: I don't remember this film. 

Why does it translate to: Je ne me souviens pas de ce film. I don't understand the placement of the 'de'?

Thank you!

It seems a bit illogical to class découvrir as a regular -ir verb, because it isn’t one in the present (even if it behaves as such in the passé simple).
