Literary analysis:
In literature, the color “Aegean” is often used to evoke a deep, rich blue that carries both natural beauty and an evocative, almost mystical quality. For example, one author draws a comparison between the transition of sky hues—where yellows and greens give way to a blue as deep as that in the Aegean grottos [1]—suggesting a blue imbued with the sea’s profound mystery. In another instance, the term appears in the description “sapphire Aegean,” used to characterize striking, captivating eyes, thereby reinforcing the association of “Aegean” with an intense, enchanting blue [2].
  1. Higher in the sky yellows and greens gave place to blue as deep as that in the Aegean grottos.
    — from Darkness and Dawn by George Allan England
  2. Courage, animal healthfulness, she, too, might—her husband not obstructing—transmit; and good looks, eyes of the sapphire AEgean.
    — from The Amazing Marriage — Complete by George Meredith
