Literary analysis:
Literary authors often employ aquamarine as an evocative color that melds hints of blue and green to conjure images of water, sky, and ethereal ambience. In many works, aquamarine describes the shifting hues of natural scenery—for instance, the Pacific is depicted as fringed with aquamarine light ([1]), while skies take on a pale aquamarine tint that infuses the atmosphere with a dreamlike quality ([2], [3]). The color also colors human experience and objects, as seen in the description of a cloudy aquamarine silk costume ([4]) and even aquamarine hair that hints at hidden depths ([5]). At times, aquamarine suggests more abstract qualities, conveying moods of clarity, hope, and even surreal transformation—from the serene twilight ambiance ([6]) to a central, enigmatic nightmare ([7]). Thus, aquamarine in literature functions not only to define visual settings but also to imbue scenes with layered emotional resonance.
