Literary analysis:
Literature often employs vivid red as a dynamic and emotionally charged color, imbuing descriptions with both visual intensity and symbolic depth. Authors use it to transform ordinary objects into striking focal points, as when a room is painted a vivid red ([1]) or when a vine bursts with vivid red flowers ([2]). The hue also marks character traits and moods: a character’s artificially colored, vivid red lips ([3]) or flushed cheeks ([4], [5]) can signal passion, embarrassment, or feverish intensity. In these ways, vivid red not only highlights physical details but also enriches the narrative with layers of emotional and symbolic significance.

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.
