Literary analysis:
In literature, the color "faded green" frequently serves as a subtle emblem of time’s passage and the lingering echoes of lost vibrancy. Authors employ it to describe everything from weathered garments and abandoned draperies to dilapidated architecture and the natural world, imbuing scenes with a sense of nostalgia or quiet melancholy. For example, it colors a small man’s coat in [1] and an old wedding mantle in [2], suggesting both personal history and fading style. It is equally at home enhancing interiors—the worn curtains in [3] and the shuttered windows in [4]—as it is evoking the gentle decay of autumnal landscapes in [5] and [6]. In this way, "faded green" becomes a versatile literary device, inviting readers to consider beauty that endures even as it softly erodes.

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.
