Literary analysis:
Deep cerise has been employed in literature as a vivid, almost otherworldly hue that evokes both beauty and an element of foreboding. In one instance, the color adorns a dramatic natural scene, where the cliffs behind minarets seem to glow with a deep cerise under a purple dawn—a fleeting, ethereal moment before the light fully reaches the town [1]. In another example, deep cerise contrasts with softer tones such as delicate pink, suggesting that even its striking beauty cannot mask an underlying fatal significance [2].
  1. There was a purple dawn, and the towering cliffs behind the minarets glowed a deep cerise for at least ten minutes ere the light reached the town.
    — from The Luck of Thirteen: Wanderings and Flight through Montenegro and Serbia by Jan Gordon
  2. Not even the beauty of its color, whether delicate pink or deep cerise, redeems it from this fatal significance.
    — from The Peaches of New York by U. P. Hedrick

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.
