Among the many practical uses of lotion in literature, a few instances treat it as a subtle reference to hue rather than merely a cosmetic or medicinal product. In one notable example [1], a "yellow lotion" is mentioned not for its therapeutic properties but for the vivid, warm tint it imparts—recalling the soft, sun-kissed glow of cantharides and evoking a delicate ambience akin to the gentle light of early morning. Here, the color implied by lotion transcends its utilitarian purpose and becomes a tool for creating a tactile, almost ephemeral atmosphere, suggesting softness, warmth, and transient beauty.
