Literary notes about brilliant turquoise (AI summary)
In literature, the term "brilliant turquoise" is often employed to evoke vivid imagery and a sense of luminous vibrancy. For instance, it paints a sparkling scene in nature, as a lake shimmers in the sunshine with a hue described as brilliant turquoise [1]. This striking color also lends a sharp contrast to animal features, such as the back of a creature gleaming like vivid blue enamel [2] or as delicate stripes cascading down an animal's shell [3]. Additionally, brilliant turquoise serves to highlight unusual and captivating human features, lending an almost otherworldly quality to eyes described with a green-blue shimmer [4].
