Literary analysis:
In literature, the color subtle green is often used to convey a delicate interplay between nature, time, and emotion. In one example, a cotton loin-cloth in Southern India is described as mellowing over time into a subtle greenish hue, evoking the natural patina of wear and weather [1]. Similarly, the subtle green gown worn by St. Margaret infuses her character with a sense of poignant beauty and underlying tragedy, adding a rich visual element to her portrayal [2]. In yet another narrative, the description of each subtle green as something that is "widening, growing" hints at a dynamic transformation, suggesting that even the softest shades are imbued with life and continual change [3].
  1. Both males and females wore a cotton loin-cloth, mellowed by wear and weather to a subtle greenish hue.
    — from Castes and Tribes of Southern India. Vol. 7 of 7 by Edgar Thurston
  2. The St. Margaret with its subtle green gown is a figure that is touching and almost tragic.
    — from Promenades of an Impressionist by James Huneker
  3. Each subtle green is widening, growing.
    — from Faith and Unfaith: A Novel by Duchess

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.
