In literature the term “nutmeg” is sometimes used as a hue—a warm, earthy tone that suggests both richness and subtle spiciness. One evocative example lies in the description of a man whose complexion is noted as “of the colour of the nutmeg” [1]. Here, the color not only communicates a tangible warmth but also hints at an exotic quality, merging sensory impressions of taste and sight. Although this use is less common than culinary references, such literary imagery deepens the reader’s experience by linking visual nuance with cultural associations of spice and vitality.
