Literary analysis:
In literature, “mocha” is often employed as a sumptuous, evocative color that calls to mind the deep, rich hues of roasted coffee. For instance, one writer describes “the fragrant Mocha's ebon hue” on a delicate Cashmere tray, lending an almost jewel-like, dark luxury to the scene [1]. In another example, mocha appears among a list of gemstone-like colors—red carnelian, onyx, topaz, and “mocha stone”—which underscores its status as both a material and a visual attribute imbued with warm, earthy undertones [2]. Similarly, authors have grouped mocha with other vibrant shades like claret and cognac to evoke a sense of refined opulence, reinforcing its association with both taste and texture in an artistic, multi-sensory manner [3].
  1. Upon a Turkish tabouret In Dresden cups of peerless blue Gleams on a pretty Cashmere tray The fragrant Mocha's ebon hue.
    — from Poems by John L. (John Lawson) Stoddard
  2. ‘Oh yes; that’s a fine red carnelian; that’s an onyx, that’s a topaz; that’s a mocha stone; that’s a weed-agate.
    — from The Boy's Own Book of Indoor Games and Recreations A Popular Encyclopædia for Boys by Gordon Stables
  3. `The Australasian' (a Quarterly), p. 298: "Hyson-skin and post-and-rail tea have been superseded by Mocha, claret, and cognac." 1855.
    — from Austral English A dictionary of Australasian words, phrases and usages with those aboriginal-Australian and Maori words which have become incorporated in the language, and the commoner scientific words that have had their origin in Australasia by Edward Ellis Morris
