You´re welcome. In fact, I got these examples from the link, but anyway I would give these examples as well, because this suffix is not used with a lot of words, just for colours and some adjectives, like "ekşi (ekşimtırak), acı (acımtırak)"

I always think of it like "a little bit":
A little sour
A little hot etc

We were told of this suffix in my Turkish class last winter and one of the women who is married to a Turk said her husband said he had never heard it used. :S

That is weird either.
I accept, it is not much used, but it is impossible that a Turkish person has not heard.
It is generally used with colors, mavimtırak, yeşilimtırak, sarımtırak, beyazımtırak... But it is odd for some colors; eflatunumtırak 
It is preffered to use "-ımsı" more; mavimsi, yeşilimsi, morumsu, beyazımsı, sarımsı, kırmızımsı... (eflatunumsu sounds odd too  )

Maybe it was ´rarely heard it used´. Sorry.
