Literary analysis:
In literature the term “pineapple” sometimes transcends its status as a mere tropical fruit to evoke a distinctive, vibrant hue—a color that conjures images of sunny, golden yellows tinged with lush, tropical verdure. Authors have employed this evocative descriptor to create contrasts and imbue their narratives with an air of exotic flamboyance. For example, one character’s playful correction—“It’s a peach—I mean a pineapple” [1]—suggests that while a peach may recall soft, muted tones, the “pineapple” implies a bolder, more vivid statement. Elsewhere, pattern descriptions that list “pineapple” among motifs [2] underline its function not only as a motif but also as an emblematic color, one that calls to mind the sumptuous, tropical light of far-off lands.
  1. It's a peach—I mean a pineapple.
    — from Roy Blakely, Pathfinder by Percy Keese Fitzhugh
  2. The “pineapple,” “broken plaid,” and “shell” patterns are very popular, especially with those who are more experienced in the art.
    — from Quilts: Their Story and How to Make Them by Marie D. (Marie Daugherty) Webster
