Literary analysis:
In literature, "striking silver" is evocatively employed to render scenes with luminous, almost magical qualities. For instance, in one vivid description, the image of the sun striking silver from jet feathers transforms a routine flight into a display of ephemeral brilliance, where the interplay of light and texture accentuates the aesthetic allure of nature [1]. This use of "striking silver" as a color creates a visual moment that is both dynamic and memorable, inviting readers to appreciate the transient beauty hidden in everyday scenes.
  1. Now they fly, with the sun striking silver from jet feathers.

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.
