In some literary texts the term "beaver" functions not merely as a reference to the animal but as a descriptor for a distinctive, earthy brown hue reminiscent of its fur. For example, one work lists colors succinctly with an entry reading “6. Beaver” [1], effectively marking it as a recognized tone in a palette. Other works extend this notion to describe garments—one passage refers to a coat in “beaver” [2] and another mentions a hat fashioned of the "best beaver" [3]—thereby evoking an image of warm, natural luxury. This usage highlights the interplay between material value and chromatic identity in literary descriptions.
