Literary analysis:
In literature the term “peat” sometimes functions as a color marker—a way of evoking the deep, earthy browns and almost black hues typical of ancient, organic soils. For instance, one passage describes water as “peat‐brown,” suggesting a murky, richly organic tone that imbues the scene with a sense of primordial depth and mystery [1]. In another example, an object’s exterior is said to be “like peat earth,” its rough, uneven surface and black coloration reinforcing a mood of rustic antiquity and weathered natural decay [2]. These subtle color allusions not only delineate a specific visual texture but also inspire associations with the weight and history of the land.
  1. Over his head closed the eddies of the peat-brown water.
    — from A Book of Myths by Jean Lang
  2. The external surface of this substance was like peat earth, being rough, uneven, [Pg 80] and of a black colour.
    — from On Some Ancient Battle-Fields in Lancashire And Their Historical, Legendary, and Aesthetic Associations. by Charles Hardwick

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.
