Literary analysis:
While most literary examples invoke “kiwi” as the name of a bird or a culinary ingredient, a few texts hint at its potential as a color reference. For instance, in [1] the term appears in the compound “Brown Kiwi,” wherein the bird’s name is paired with an earthy hue that evokes the natural, subdued browns of its plumage. Similarly, in recipe descriptions such as [2] and [3], the idea of “kiwi glaze”—while primarily a culinary term—suggests a distinctive, organic tone reminiscent of the fruit’s vibrant interior. In these sparse instances, authors use “kiwi” not merely to name an object but to subtly employ its natural associations, merging species identification with visual and sensory imagery that alludes to a unique, earthy color palette.

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.
