Literary analysis:
In literary works, the term "aqua" is occasionally employed as a vivid descriptor of water-like hues, invoking the clear, reflective quality of the sea. For example, one author draws a direct parallel between a character’s striking eyes and "huge aqua-marines," suggesting a luminous, watery green that captivates the reader's imagination [1]. Similarly, the gentle, subdued tint of a fabric is compared to a "pale aqua marine," subtly evoking images of tranquil, shallow waters [2]. In another instance, the shimmering, water-blue quality of "aqua-marines" is used to adorn a woman's throat, merging the fluidity of water with visual splendor [3]. These examples highlight how "aqua" enriches visual imagery by seamlessly blending the essence of water with color.
  1. She is of a tawny black, like Mummia, Atta-Croll’s hairy companion, and her two green eyes look like huge aqua-marines.
    — from My Private Menagerie from The Works of Theophile Gautier Volume 19 by Théophile Gautier
  2. The frock was of soft mull, and its coloring was like that of a pale aqua marine.
    — from Princess Polly's Gay Winter by Amy Brooks
  3. Aqua-marines glistened water-blue about her bare throat, and filmy lace clung to her satin shoulders.
    — from The Inner Flame: A Novel by Clara Louise Burnham

This tab, the new OneLook "color thesaurus", is a work in progress. It draws from a data set of more than 2000 color names gathered from sources around the Web, and an analysis of how they are referenced in English texts. Some words, like "peach", function as both a color name and an object; when you do a search for words like these, you will see both of the above sections.
