Literary analysis:
Literary authors often appropriate the term “peacock” to evoke vivid, iridescent hues reminiscent of the exotic bird’s plumage. In some works, “peacock blue” becomes a symbol of opulent style and fading grandeur—a brilliant blue tint graces a character’s blanket coat [1] and a faded peacock‐blue dressing‐gown hints at lost luster [2]. The natural world is not exempt either: readers encounter “peacock green” as a descriptor for lush grass, infusing the scene with vibrant life [3]. In other instances, an object’s color is described as resembling the hue of a peacock’s neck, further emphasizing the luxurious, multifaceted spectrum that “peacock” suggests [4]. Even in decorative contexts, peacock-blue accents on fine rugs add another layer of richness to the tapestry of color in literature [5].
