Literary notes about parrot green (AI summary)
In literature, the color "parrot green" has been employed as a vivid descriptor to evoke both the allure and the enigmatic quality of its subjects. In several poetic lines (e.g., [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]), "parrot green" appears to capture a serene yet striking aspect—almost as if an otherworldly, unmoving presence inhabits the hand, inviting the reader to ponder its mystery. Meanwhile, in more detailed, descriptive passages ([6], [7]), the color is used to enhance visual imagery: from gilded ornaments accented by vivid parrot greens to the plumage of a creature whose upper parts glow with this bright hue, emphasizing a lush, natural vibrancy.
