In some literary texts the term "burnt almond" appears not as a tasty treat but as a distinct color—a warm, earthy hue that seems to capture a particular mood or aesthetic. Several entries read like catalog listings, for example, “Burnt Almond, 297” [1] and “Burnt Almonds 78 201” [2], suggesting that the color was precisely specified much like a pigment in an artist’s palette. Variations of the hue are also noted, with examples such as “Pink Burnt Almonds” [3, 4] hinting at a softer, perhaps more romantic variant, while one passage even mentions “Burnt Almonds—Red,” achieved with added cochineal [5], underscoring the color’s mutable, nuanced character. These references illustrate how authors have appropriated the term "burnt almond" to evoke rich tonalities and texture in their descriptions.
