When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Responses
dark and white chocolate
The problem as I see it is that "chocolate" is being used in two different senses - in one case as the foodstuff chocolate, which can be dark, milk or white, and in the other as a colour, namely a shade of dark brown. I don't think that mixing these two uses of the word in a single picture works, so I think the caption needs changing.

: Also, by "dark chocolate" Sue-My may be referring to milk chocolate (dark in contrast to white). So maybe "milk and white chocolate".

: 'chocolate and white' is often used in other, non-confectionery contexts (cf. similar use of 'ebony and ivory') I would heistate to use it in a literal chocolate context

: if you're talking about chocolate, it needs to be spelled out. (If you were talking about a room that was decorated in chocolate-brown/chocolate and white, it would be possible.

Chocolate color and white color
Do the colors trigger your subliminal senses to think of chocolate?
