Literary analysis:
In literature the color “cedar” is often invoked to evoke the warm, naturally earthy hues of wood, conjuring images of time-worn landscapes and nature’s steadfast beauty. For example, one author describes a river as “cedar‐stained,” suggesting that the water wears a tint reminiscent of weathered cedar wood—a subtle but evocative detail that enriches the scene’s natural atmosphere ([1]). In another instance the redwood is noted to possess “the color of cedar,” a comparison that not only highlights the unique shade of cedar but also hints at the intrinsic qualities associated with the wood itself ([2]). Together, these examples illustrate how cedar, as a color, becomes a poetic symbol of rustic elegance and enduring nature.
  1. It is set on the very edge of the brownest, crookedest, sweetest stream in the world—the cedar-stained Rancocas.
    — from Everyday Adventures by Samuel Scoville
  2. The redwood has the color of cedar, but not its fragrance; it is a soft wood, unfit for ship-building, but easily worked and extraordinarily durable.
    — from Northern California, Oregon, and the Sandwich Islands by Charles Nordhoff

This tab, the new OneLook "color thesaurus", is a work in progress. It draws from a data set of more than 2000 color names gathered from sources around the Web, and an analysis of how they are referenced in English texts. Some words, like "peach", function as both a color name and an object; when you do a search for words like these, you will see both of the above sections.
