Literary analysis:
While most literary references to "tundra" serve to evoke vast, icy landscapes, a few works treat the term as a color—a muted, earthy hue that speaks to the understated beauty of frozen terrain. In one evocative example, the tundra is described as “softly green and brown” and splashed with floral tints, suggesting a palette that is both sparse and richly varied ([1]). In such usage, "tundra" becomes more than a geographical marker; it acts as a subtle chromatic metaphor for isolation, endurance, and natural elegance, capturing the quiet, almost mythic quality of the cold, open land.
  1. The tundra, softly green and brown, was splashed with the yellow and rose and purple of late-blooming wild flowers.
    — from Where the Sun Swings North by Barrett Willoughby

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.
