Literary analysis:
In literature, "outer space" is sometimes employed as a color metaphor to evoke a sense of ultimate darkness and the infinite void. One striking example describes it as "the dead black of outer space… a black beyond conception, black with nothing in it to reflect" [1]. Here, rather than merely denoting a location, "outer space" is used to convey a visually and emotionally arresting shade—a darkness that transcends ordinary black and hints at the depths of both the cosmos and the human psyche. This usage transforms the color into a powerful symbol of emptiness and mystery, enriching the narrative with a cosmic intensity.
  1. It was the dead black of outer space now, a black beyond conception, black with nothing in it to reflect.
    — from One Against the Moon by Donald A. Wollheim

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.
