In literary and artistic contexts, “citrine” is most often invoked as a vivid, clear light yellow—a hue reminiscent of lemon or topaz—that both decorates imaginative landscapes and informs detailed discussions of color theory. Authors describe expansive backgrounds imbued with a citrine tint to evoke warmth and clarity [1, 2, 3], while critics and theorists have classified it among tertiary colors—sometimes even equating it to a mixture of orange and green [4]—and noted its striking contrast with deep purple [5]. At times, the term extends beyond pure color to suggest the luminous quality of gemstones, as seen in passages that refer to clear, topaz-like crystals or even a character with “citrine skin” that hints at an almost otherworldly radiance [6, 7, 8].
