Literary analysis:
In literature, the color ice blue often serves as a symbol of clarity, quietude, and occasionally a piercing intensity. For instance, in [1] the sky is described as “a perfect ice blue,” evoking an atmosphere of crisp, serene beauty that sets the tone for the scene. Similarly, the phrase “in the ice blue eyes” from [2] uses the color to highlight a striking, almost otherworldly quality in a character's gaze. In [3], the color imparts a subtle luminescence to an object as it reflects the early light, blending the boundaries between the tangible and the ethereal. Lastly, [4] employs ice blue to underscore precision and sharpness in a character’s observed details, suggesting not just visual clarity but also keen insight.

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.
