Literary analysis:
The color "toffee" in literature is often used to evoke warmth and a rich, amber quality that suggests both comfort and indulgence. For instance, in one example an architecturally detailed surface is described as "toffee‐coloured," imbuing it with a warm, inviting hue that draws the reader into its tactile presence [1]. Similarly, a tranquil pool is depicted as having a "toffee‐coloured" tint, which enhances the natural, serene atmosphere of the scene and invites associations with the gentle sweetness of the confection itself [2].
  1. The toffee-coloured surface was worked over with some kind of pattern.
    — from The Lost Continent by Charles John Cutcliffe Wright Hyne
  2. His eyes were fixed intently on the place where a large trout had risen in the stillest toffee-coloured pool.
    — from The Works of John Galsworthy An Index of the Project Gutenberg Works of Galsworthy by John Galsworthy

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.
