Literary analysis:
In literature, the term "brilliant turquoise" is often employed to evoke vivid imagery and a sense of luminous vibrancy. For instance, it paints a sparkling scene in nature, as a lake shimmers in the sunshine with a hue described as brilliant turquoise [1]. This striking color also lends a sharp contrast to animal features, such as the back of a creature gleaming like vivid blue enamel [2] or as delicate stripes cascading down an animal's shell [3]. Additionally, brilliant turquoise serves to highlight unusual and captivating human features, lending an almost otherworldly quality to eyes described with a green-blue shimmer [4].
  1. He stood for a time looking at the lake, which looked like a brilliant turquoise in the sunshine.
    — from Stories to Read or Tell from Fairy Tales and Folklore
  2. Shaped like a John Dory, he has a lemon-coloured body with a back of brilliant turquoise-blue, which gleams in the water like vivid blue enamel.
    — from Here, There and Everywhere by Hamilton, Frederic, Lord
  3. The animal is of a very pale brown colour; its shell brownish and semi-transparent, with several stripes of brilliant turquoise blue down the back.
    — from Stories of the Universe: Animal Life by B. Lindsay
  4. The eyes were large and set slightly aslant in the skull, being startlingly orange-red or a brilliant turquoise green-blue.
    — from Plague Ship by Andre Norton
