Literary analysis:
In literature, “dandelion” is sometimes employed as a richly evocative color that conjures images of bright, sunlit fields and rustic warmth. One notable use occurs in [1], where a stud-horse is described as “dandelion yellow in colour,” immediately suggesting a vivid, natural brightness that blends the unmistakable hue of the flower with a sense of vitality and robust character. This particular employment of a botanical term as a chromatic descriptor turns an everyday plant into a symbol of timeless, pastoral beauty, imbuing the narrative with an organic, radiant energy.
