Literary analysis:
In literature, fog is often evoked not only as a weather condition but as a distinctive, almost painterly color that imbues scenes with a surreal, otherworldly quality. For instance, Oscar Wilde’s verse [1] describes a “yellow fog” that creeps over cityscapes, effectively transforming ordinary urban landscapes into environments tinged with an eerie, uncanny glow. Similarly, other works evoke a “gray fog” that seems to hang heavily over everything [2], suggesting moodiness, melancholy, or uncertainty. In these uses, fog transcends its literal existence to become a vivid chromatic metaphor—its shifting hues reflecting the transient emotions and blurred realities in the narrative.
  1. The yellow fog came creeping down The bridges, till the houses’ walls Seemed changed to shadows and St. Paul’s Loomed like a bubble o’er the town.
    — from Poems, with The Ballad of Reading Gaol by Oscar Wilde
  2. A swaying light, a host of sober, brown faces, the gray fog hanging over all, made it seem fantastic indeed.
    — from The Shadow Passes A Mystery Story for Boys by Roy J. (Roy Judson) Snell

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.
