In literary works, the color goldenrod is often evoked as a warm, radiant hue that carries both material and metaphorical significance. Some authors explicitly adopt it as a defined color—for instance, one text notes that forms marked “G” are meant for goldenrod, underscoring its role in systematic color coding ([1]). Other writers distinguish it from similar hues, as when a character laments not being able to tell goldenrod from goldenstone ([2]). In some passages, goldenrod is treated almost like a liquid pigment—a jug of goldenrod spills into the narrative, hinting at its vivid, tangible quality ([3]). And in more poetic descriptions, goldenrod is observed in a state of metamorphosis, its brilliance softening into bronze as a metaphor for change or the passage of time ([4]).
