Literary analysis:
In literature, deep green is often employed to evoke the richness and vitality of nature. Writers use it to describe everything from the glossy foliage of an orange-tree, which immediately signals life and health [1], to the impenetrable tangle of a jungle, where deep green intensifies the mystery and depth of the wild [2]. It colors landscapes with a vivid naturalness—as seen in the depiction of grass bathed in purple shadows [3] or the prodigious oak whose deep green leaves stand out against a dramatic sky [4]. In these diverse settings, deep green not only serves as a simple descriptive hue but also deepens the reader's connection to the landscape, enveloping scenes in a feeling of nature’s enduring, vibrant elegance.
  1. The well-fed orange-tree is known by the glossy, deep green of its foliage, as a declining tree is by the yellow tinge of its leaves.
    — from Palmetto-Leaves by Harriet Beecher Stowe
  2. Hilton glanced at the open window, to see through the lattice-work of bamboo the deep green of the impenetrable jungle.
    — from One Maid's Mischief by George Manville Fenn
  3. The grass was a deep green under the purple shadows.
    — from The Hill of Venus by Nathan Gallizier
  4. The sun was setting tranquil and red; a broad ruby streak lingered on the deep green leaves of the prodigious oak.
    — from White Lies by Charles Reade

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.
