Literary analysis:
In a few imaginative literary passages, writers have employed “ginger” as a color—a warm, spicy hue that evokes both the rich earthiness of the spice and the nostalgic tone of baked goods. One notable example is the terse yet evocative “Ginger blue” [1], which contrasts the ruddy, fiery connotations of ginger with the cool depths of blue, producing a striking visual interplay. Similarly, a description alluding to “ginger-bread on the lower edge” [2] invites readers to imagine a soft, toasted brown accent reminiscent of freshly baked treats. These instances demonstrate how “ginger” is not confined solely to flavor or name but can also serve as a nuanced and evocative element in the painterly palette of literary description.
  1. Ginger blue.
    — from U.S. Copyright Renewals, 1967 July - December by Library of Congress. Copyright Office
  2. In spite of the ginger-bread on the lower edge, it seemed to me very pretty.
    — from Letters to an Unknown by Prosper Mérimée

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.
