In the passages where "heather" is clearly used as a color, writers harness its richly evocative, muted hue to imbue everyday objects with a distinct, atmospheric quality. For example, Naomi’s bonnet is described as "heather‐coloured" [1], a detail that immediately conveys a soft, subtle tint reminiscent of the natural, windswept Highland landscapes. Such usage not only enhances the aesthetic precision of the description but also lends a sense of nostalgic intimacy and regional character—a visual shorthand that situates the reader in a world where color and environment are indelibly intertwined.
