Literary analysis:
The color "pansy purple" is used in literature both to establish a vivid visual palette and to convey deep emotion. In one work, it appears as part of a sequence of colors, contributing to a multifaceted aesthetic that sets the overall tone of the piece [1]. In another example, the hue is applied to describe a character's eyes, lending them a rich, soulful intensity that mirrors her inner plea and emotional complexity [2].
