Literary analysis:
In a few literary instances, "shampoo" transcends its everyday role as a cleaning agent to take on chromatic significance. Notably, one text presents shampoo alongside sea-foam, explaining that it “can be colored a nice yellow by making a tea of saffron and water” [1]. This unique usage suggests that the substance carries an inherent visual and sensory quality—a mutable, almost ethereal hue that symbolizes transformation and renewal. Here, shampoo becomes a metaphorical canvas, blurring the lines between practical hygiene and the evocative power of color in literature.
  1. The shampoo or sea-foam can be colored a nice yellow by making a tea of saffron and water, adding enough after straining it to get the desired color.
    — from Barbers' Manual (Part 1); Text Book on Taxidermy (Part 2) by T. J. McConnaughay

This tab, the new OneLook "color thesaurus", is a work in progress. It draws from a data set of more than 2000 color names gathered from sources around the Web, and an analysis of how they are referenced in English texts. Some words, like "peach", function as both a color name and an object; when you do a search for words like these, you will see both of the above sections.
