Literary analysis:
In literature the color “mud” is sometimes invoked to evoke a sense of earthiness and raw naturalness. Rather than symbolizing a pristine hue, authors use "mud-coloured" to suggest a rugged, unrefined quality, as in the description of rough sea-weeds tinted in gray, green, and the unmistakable tone of mud [1]. This selective use of an earthy color palette not only grounds the imagery in the physical texture of the natural world, but also carries subtle implications of decay, imperfection, and sometimes even a muted beauty that stands apart from more polished or idealized colors.
  1. Behold, among acres of similar growth, a trivial collection of rough, short weeds of the sea—grey, green and mud-coloured.
    — from The Confessions of a Beachcomber by E. J. (Edmund James) Banfield

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.
