Literary analysis:
In some literary works, authors render rhythm with the vividness of a hue, painting sound and movement as if they were colors visible to the eye. For instance, Sellar’s description of the “ocean‐roll of rhythm” [1] transforms the flow of epic verse into a deep, shifting color that imbues the text with dynamic, almost tangible fluidity. Similarly, a character’s movement is sometimes described in terms that suggest a visual quality—as when the changing sheen of a heavy seal cloak reveals a graceful rhythm in motion [2]. In another passage, the very movements and garment folds of a heroine are portrayed as floating around her like an artful wash of musical color, blending physical beauty with an ethereal, rhythmic tint [3]. Through such phrasings, rhythm is not merely an auditory or temporal quality, but an aesthetic one that saturates the narrative with a vibrant, painterly presence.
  1. Sellar. From the Saturnian he turned to the hexameter, whose "ocean-roll of rhythm" had resounded in the great epics of Homer.
    — from Studies in the Poetry of Italy, Part I. Roman by Frank Justus Miller
  2. The perfect grace and rhythm of movement could be seen even through the heavy seal cloak, whose sheen changed with each touch of her figure.
    — from The One Woman: A Story of Modern Utopia by Dixon, Thomas, Jr.
  3. Her beauty, and the rhythm of her movements and the folds of her garments, seemed to float around her like music.
    — from A Struggle for Rome, v. 3 by Felix Dahn

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.
