Literary analysis:
In some literary passages, authors use "cobblestone" not just to denote a building material but as an evocative color that suggests muted, weathered hues reminiscent of aged city streets. For example, one work describes a “yellow cobblestone,” where the adjective “yellow” imbues the stone with a sun-bleached, almost nostalgic quality that hints at both urban decay and lasting resilience [1]. In another instance, an object is noted as being “gray” in a way that makes it resemble a cobblestone, thereby evoking the cool, natural tone of stones worn by time and weather [2]. These uses illustrate how the color “cobblestone” can conjure visual textures and atmospheres that enrich the setting with both historical and mood-specific connotations.
  1. "It didn't come up at all; that was a yellow cobblestone that you mistook for the skull again," I replied.
    — from Famous Modern Ghost Stories
  2. dish, gray object that looked like a cobblestone, but when I turned it over, it proved to be the bowl of a black-on-white dipper.
    — from Aztec Ruins National Monument, New Mexico by John M. Corbett

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.
