Literary analysis:

In literature the rarely encountered term “shandy” has been used not only to name characters or drinks but also as a distinctive color descriptor. One notable usage appears when “shandy” is defined as “resembling a shell or a scale,” evoking the subtle iridescence and delicate sheen found in nature’s own palette [1]. This application of the term transports the reader into a sensory realm where colors are not merely hues but carry the gentle, organic glow of a seashell or the fine, lustrous quality of a fish scale—a nuance that deepens the aesthetic and imaginative fabric of the text.

shandy: resembling a shell or a scale.
— from Selections from American poetry, with special reference to Poe, Longfellow, Lowell and Whittier
