Literary analysis:
In literature, the term "watermelon" sometimes transcends its identity as a fruit to evoke a lively, distinctive hue. One notable example appears in Emily Post’s etiquette guide, where she describes a curtain fabric as having a "watermelon pink" shade—a vivid, changeable taffeta that suggests both warmth and exuberance [1]. This clever use of the term demonstrates how authors can draw on familiar, natural imagery to create an impression of color that is at once both playful and richly evocative.
  1. The glass curtains are point d'esprit net with a deep flounce at the bottom and outside curtains are (expensive) watermelon pink changeable taffeta.
    — from Etiquette by Emily Post

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.
