Literary analysis:
In literature, vivid orange is often employed to create striking imagery that brings energy and warmth to a scene. Writers use it to illuminate natural and manmade objects alike—from the burning lichen on ancient tiles [1] and the blazing meadows or sunsets [2, 3] to the delicate details of a flower cluster [4] or a feathered patch on a bird’s neck [5]. At the same time, vivid orange adorns characters’ attire—a gleaming evening dress [6], an elegant gown [7, 8], or even an accent tie [9]—infusing these figures with a bold, lively character. This vibrant hue, sometimes deepened with crimson accents [10] or juxtaposed against cooler tones [11, 12], underscores both the natural world's brilliance and human creativity, inviting readers to experience the scene with both passion and precision.
