Literary analysis:
In literary descriptions the term "platinum" is sometimes employed not just to denote a material but to evoke a distinctive, understated hue. For instance, a platinum film is characterized as having a neutral, greyish‐black tint with a subtle iridescence that lends a cool, refined quality to the imagery [1]. Similarly, recipes for creating beautiful, charming tints with platinum baths show how this color, derived from chemical techniques, is prized for its delicate and modern appeal [2]. In this way, platinum is used in literature to suggest elegance, modernity, and a quiet luminosity that enhances the atmosphere of a scene.
  1. The colour of the platinum film is of a neutral greyish black, and it often shows at the same time a faint iridescence.
    — from Shifts and Expedients of Camp Life, Travel & Exploration by Thomas Baines
  2. Most charming tints are produced with platinum baths, a good formula being Strong nitric acid 5 drops Water 4 ounces Chloro-platinite of potassium 1
    — from Henley's Twentieth Century Formulas, Recipes and Processes

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.
