Literary analysis:
In literature the term "sycamore" sometimes appears not merely as a reference to the tree itself but as a designation for a warm, earthy hue. In one example, the name is listed among color names—its context suggesting an association with nuanced, natural tones [1]. Another text goes further to note that sycamore wood is "reddish‐brown in color," an observation that ties the physical, tactile qualities of the material to a distinctive visual impression [2]. Together these examples demonstrate how "sycamore" is employed to evoke a sense of organic warmth and the rugged, timeworn beauty found in nature.
  1. Sycamore, Parasite, 361. Sympathy, Lines on, 302.
    — from The Mirror of Literature, Amusement, and Instruction. Volume 12, No. 349, Supplement to Volume 12. by Various
  2. Sycamore wood, generally known in Europe as maple, is reddish-brown in color and when quartered is handsomely figured.
    — from Selling Home Furnishings: A Training Program by Walter F. Shaw

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.
