Literary analysis:
Literary texts have often used "Persian Red" to evoke a sense of exotic richness and cultural depth. In one example, the pigment is introduced as Indian Red—once known as Persian Red—emphasizing its historical journey from Bengal and hinting at a vibrant, faraway heritage [1]. In other instances, the term appears more succinctly, serving as a vivid color reference that enriches the narrative’s visual palette—either as a standalone detail [2] or in a more measured listing within a descriptive sequence [3]. Through such varied usages, "Persian Red" emerges not only as a hue but also as a subtle symbol of cross-cultural influence and the intricate interplay of art and history in literature.

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.
