Literary writers have sometimes invoked the “lion” not just to refer to a fierce beast but also to evoke a distinctive, tawny hue reminiscent of its skin. In these texts the lion’s skin is more than mere disguise—it suggests a warm, natural radiance and a subtle emblem of nobility. For example, in the fable “The Ass in the Lion’s Skin” [1] and the mythic episode of Herakles being clothed in a lion’s skin [2], the animal’s characteristic coloring imbues the narrative with an earthy, sunlit quality that mirrors courage and transformation. In this way the color “lion” becomes a rich, multi-layered symbol, bridging the literal animal representation with metaphorical traits of strength, regality, and the natural beauty of the wilderness.
