Tough one Paul:-)
According to the Oxford, "gominola" is as follows [copied and pasted]:

gominola f (Esp) soft fruit candy (AmE), fruit jelly (BrE)

Good luck with this one!

I think these are good options, both are used in English to refer to clothing and makeup (such as lipgloss)

Just a guess. Good luck.

Another option for you--I would say you can use either this or the jellybean colors Sheila suggested above in the second answer. They seem to be used somewhat interchangeably, as you can see in the first refs. referring to iMac:

Other examples:

For what it\'s worth, despite all the dictionary translations, \"gominolas,\" at least in Spain, refer to either gummy candy (e.g. gummy bears or similar, with or without sugar coating) or gumdrops (except the gumdrops here tend to be, well, \"gummier\" than the ones I remember in the U.S., which have a firmer texture). Since you can hardly say \"gummy colors\" (who would wear them??!), I suggested the gumdrop option.

Here\'s a ref on the gominolas...

and this one shows you some good pictures of different types of gominolas (including some that are clearly jellybeans!)--click on the links at the left to see the different kinds.

If you want to get a 1950s feel, there are several looks to choose from -the American diner look with bubblegum colours, neon and kitsch -or the designer look with furniture and textiles which have all become design classics.

Needless to say, the rest of the “graduating cohort” or MediaCorp luminaries contending for this year’s coveted trophies turned up in nothing short of kimono-inspired gowns, suede berets and bubblegum colours – making award presenters Karen Mok and Bowie Lam look like kindergarten kiddies.

Yummy Colors
When the dual band T2688 was first launched, it caught the public eye with its innovative store display. Sitting on a metallic frame of bendable arms and legs, the dual band phone looked delicious with its yummy bubblegum colors. There\'s a choice of four colors: Sunflower Yellow, Black, Ocean Blue and Red Bean. But it\'s a pity the covers aren\'t inter-changeable.
