Literary analysis:
In literature, luminous silver is often employed to evoke images of otherworldly radiance and shifting brilliance. For instance, it appears in industrial settings as in [1], where it transforms molten materials into glowing streams, while in natural landscapes it can serve as a striking visual element—as seen in [2], where it forms the ethereal wake of a moving body, or in [3], where a weakly luminous silver mist overlays a scene. The color also lends an almost magical quality to objects and beings, such as the mystical ship in [4] or the radiant circle behind a character's head in [5], while its intense, blue-tinted hue in [6] suggests the energetic glow of an electric arc. Even in human portrayals like the majestic, luminous silvery beard in [7], the color conveys a sense of sacred power and refined beauty, demonstrating its versatility in creating both dynamic and serene atmospheres.
