Literary analysis:
In literature, authors occasionally adopt “raspberry” as a vivid descriptor of color, extending its associations far beyond the fruit itself. For example, one passage describes a gem whose hue transforms from a charming olive to the striking “columbine or raspberry red” under artificial light, highlighting how “raspberry red” can evoke both warmth and intensity in visual imagery [1]. Similarly, a poet employs the term in a natural setting, referring to the “raspberry Red” that seems to spring forth amid gorse, thus using the color metaphorically to enrich the scene with a sense of vitality and allure [2]. These instances illustrate how “raspberry” functions as a memorable and evocative color term in literature.
  1. By daylight the gem 119 is of a charming olive or emerald green tint, which changes in artificial light to a columbine or raspberry red.
    — from The Magic and Science of Jewels and Stones by Isidore Kozminsky
  2. Where 'mid the gorse the raspberry Red for the gatherer springs, Two children did we stray and talk Wise, idle, childish things.
    — from Selected Poems of Francis Thompson by Francis Thompson
