In select literary works the word “banana” transcends its literal meaning as a fruit to evoke a distinct, vibrant hue—a sunny, playful yellow that imbues a scene with tropical warmth. An isolated instance such as the emphatic one-word title “BANANA” [1] suggests that the color itself can be a focal point, drawing attention with its bold, evocative simplicity. In these cases the term is not merely descriptive of nature or nourishment but is employed for its chromatic resonance, conjuring images of light, cheerfulness, and the lush tropics. This subtle use of “banana” as a color underscores how even everyday objects may be transformed into rich, symbolic devices within literature.
