Literary analysis:
In literature, "signal red" is often employed as a vivid and arresting hue that immediately draws the reader’s attention. In one example [1], the term stands alone as a bold identifier, emphasizing its striking character. Another work [2] expands on this by aligning signal red with other intense shades such as vermilion, geranium red, and poppy red, thereby framing it within a spectrum of colors that evoke passion and urgency. This deliberate use of "signal red" serves not only to invoke strong visual imagery but also to underscore themes of boldness and immediacy throughout the narrative.

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.
