Literary analysis:
In literature, the color space gray is often employed to evoke a sense of modernity and enigmatic allure. In one instance, the hue defines the attire of a character, painting him as part of a vaguely sophisticated urban milieu where even his clothes serve as a subtle marker of identity [1]. In a more abstract usage, however, space gray transcends its literal meaning to conjure up an atmosphere of wonder and mystery, as seen in the evocative description of an entity imbued with a "puzzling wonder" [2][3].
  1. He pushed his way past the man in Space Grays and shouldered past a couple of barflies as he left.
    — from Postmark Ganymede by Robert Silverberg
  2. Then came a space gray with puzzling wonder.
    — from The Crisis — Volume 03 by Winston Churchill
  3. Then came a space gray with puzzling wonder.
    — from Project Gutenberg Complete Works of Winston Churchill by Winston Churchill

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.
