Literary analysis:
In literature the color mulberry is often invoked to evoke richness and intensity. In one passage the “deep mulberry color” is used to describe an object whose hues recall the lush saturation of ripe berries [1], while another character is noted for wearing a “mulberry suit,” suggesting not only a striking sartorial choice but also an emblem of unconventional charm [2]. The color emerges again in visual descriptions—a “spluttered mulberry‐coat” lends an air of worn intensity to its subject [3], and dried materials that “appear like small dry berries of a deep mulberry colour” further enhance sensory detail [4]. Even in historical recounting, mulberry hues adorn ceremonial garb, as seen in the mulberry‑colored coats worn during Richard III’s coronation procession [5], while architecture is enlivened by “mulberry‑shingled” buildings that intimate both warmth and tradition [6].
