Literary analysis:
In literature the term “sunflower” is often invoked as a vivid, warm hue that evokes the radiant brightness of a summer field. Authors have not only used it figuratively to suggest warmth and optimism but have also treated it as a tangible color in artistic palettes, as seen in the designation “Sunflower Yellow 6” [1]. This hue is described with an almost tangible brilliance; one author recalls “the brilliant yellow of the sunflower” gracing a once-familiar garden, thereby evoking nostalgia and the comforting glow of home [2]. In another instance, the sunflower’s image is employed to cast a rustic, relaxed atmosphere—a cheerful beacon peering over a cottage wall that spells out a mood of gentle ease [3].
  1. Sunflower Yellow 6
    — from The Library of Work and Play: Gardening and Farming. by Ellen Eddy Shaw
  2. The lilacs' fragrance, the soft beauty of the violets, the brilliant yellow of the sunflower graced long ago this garden.
    — from The Tarn of Eternity by Frank Tymon
  3. The Iris has the poetry of river banks; the Sunflower peering over a cottage garden wall, spells rustic ease.
    — from The Charm of Gardens by Dion Clayton Calthrop
