Literary analysis:
In literature, "shocking pink" is frequently employed as a striking visual element that immediately commands attention. As seen in examples [1], [2], and [3], the color is presented in its pure, unembellished form—often as a standalone title or label—to evoke a sense of boldness and unconventional beauty. Authors use this vivid hue to punctuate their works, inviting readers to consider themes of audacity and flamboyance while reimagining traditional notions of color symbolism.

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.
