In literature the term “mandarin” has at times been employed to evoke the warm, zesty hues characteristic of the fruit, as well as the refined and delicate shades found in Chinese porcelain. For example, one writer directly names the color “mandarin‐orange,” calling to mind the vibrancy of the citrus’s peel and flesh [1]. In another passage the color is described as shifting to “a fine yellow almost of the colour of ‘mandarin’ china,” suggesting a subtle gradation that hints at both luminosity and cultural delicacy [2]. A further example uses the mandarin orange as a simile to compare sizes, again relying on the fruit’s distinctive coloration to create a vivid image [3]. Through such uses, “mandarin” emerges not just as a hue but as a symbol imbued with cultural, aesthetic, and sensory resonance in literary descriptions.
