None of the examples actually employ “Salem” to describe a hue. Rather than appearing as a color—like “scarlet” or “emerald”—the word is consistently used as a proper noun naming a town, an institution, or a historical figure. Although “Salem” carries heavy cultural and historical connotations that might suggest shadowy or mysterious overtones in the reader’s mind, the texts provided do not explicitly invoke it as a chromatic descriptor [1][2]. This omission highlights that, while the name “Salem” resonates with rich symbolic meaning in literary settings, authors have so far preferred to rely on conventional color terms when directly referring to color.
