Literary analysis:
In literature, the color "creamy ivory" often symbolizes refined elegance and understated luxury. In one instance, it lends a sophisticated air to functional décor as seen on a French dining table painted in this soft, inviting hue [1]. In another example, the creamy ivory frame of a hand-mirror not only accents the object's delicate craftsmanship but also serves as a subtle nod to the interplay between beauty and utility [2].
  1. The dining-table too, was French, of a creamy ivory-painted wood.
    — from The House in Good Taste by Elsie De Wolfe
  2. Finally she took up her hand-mirror, framed in creamy ivory, with a carved jade bead hanging from it by a green silk cord.
    — from The Brimming Cup by Dorothy Canfield Fisher

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.
