Literary analysis:
Literary references to "pear" as a color are rare and subtle, often evoking the soft, natural hues of ripeness and decay rather than offering bold, primary shades. In a few texts the pear’s muted greens, yellows, and rustic tomes emerge as symbols of change and impermanence. For instance, one writer uses the image of a bruised, rusty pear to evoke the wear of time and nature’s inevitable decline [1], while another contrasts the gentle glow of a sky behind pear-blossom with the tender, ephemeral quality of light that seems to mirror the fruit’s understated palette [2]. In such passages, the color “pear” is not named explicitly as a hue but is implied through the natural imagery of orchards and ripening fruit, lending an organic, transient quality to the descriptions.
  1. A muffled thud the pippin fell, And at our feet rolled dusty; A hornet clinging to its bell, The pear lay bruised and rusty.
    — from One Day & Another: A Lyrical Eclogue by Madison Julius Cawein
  2. Did you ever see anything like the colour of that sky behind the pear-blossom?' 'Did you like them?'
    — from Doctor Cupid: A Novel by Rhoda Broughton

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.
