Literary analysis:
In literature, nectarine as a color is seldom used, but when it appears it evokes a warm, delicate radiance reminiscent of summer ripeness. One notable instance describes a woman's sunwarmed face and throat as being almost the color of a nectarine, a simile that imbues her appearance with a soft, glowing vitality [1]. This subtle reference to the fruit’s hue not only captures an essence of gentle warmth but also suggests a fleeting, natural beauty that bridges the sensory pleasures of sight and emotion.
  1. She had put on evening dress, and above the pallor of her shoulders, her sunwarmed face and throat had almost the colour of a nectarine.
    — from The Works of John Galsworthy An Index of the Project Gutenberg Works of Galsworthy by John Galsworthy
