JASMINE colors - OneLook

Literary analysis:

In literature, jasmine is not solely a scent or a name but also functions as a delicate, evocative color that enriches visual descriptions. Writers have employed terms like “Yellow Jasmine” in contexts such as tinctures and blooming landscapes to suggest a soft, luminous hue that recalls both warmth and subtlety ([1], [2]). The adjective appears again when describing botanical scenes, where phrases such as “yellow jasmine” highlight gentle, glowing details in nature ([3], [4]). Moreover, contrasts like “white jasmine” further emphasize this color’s ethereal quality, merging the sensory realms of sight and scent to create a rich, multisensory atmosphere ([5], [6]).
