Literary analysis:
Literary authors often harness the evocative imagery of “iceberg” not only as a physical object but as an emblematic color—a palette of cool, crystalline blues and stark whites that conveys both beauty and emotional detachment. For instance, one author describes an iceberg “very bright and dazzling in the evening sun” so that it “looked like an enormous diamond, with the rainbow for the setting” [1], using light and prismatic effects to evoke an almost otherworldly hue that mirrors inner brilliance and frosty reserve. Similarly, in another work a character’s demeanor is likened to an iceberg—its cool, unyielding color suggesting both clarity and isolation [2]—while yet another narrative invokes the majestic and sublime chill of polar hues to intensify a scene’s stark, inevitable beauty [3]. In these examples, “iceberg” transcends its literal meaning, becoming a nuanced, color-driven metaphor for both the serene and the severe.
  1. The iceberg, which was very bright and dazzling in the evening sun, looked like an enormous diamond, with the rainbow for the setting."
    — from The Junior Classics, Volume 6: Old-Fashioned Tales
  2. [Pg 18] Devar, of Horton’s Horse?” she said, aloof as an iceberg.
    — from Cynthia's Chauffeur by Louis Tracy
  3. An iceberg of the Polar seas could not have been more capricious in its terrible sublimity!
    — from Abandoned by Jules Verne

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.
