Literary analysis:
In literary descriptions, "nickel" is employed to evoke a sleek, silvery sheen reminiscent of the metal’s lustrous, reflective quality. In L. Frank Baum’s The Marvelous Land of Oz, for example, a “beautiful nickel‐plate” surface is praised for its gleaming elegance, suggesting both resilience and an almost magical modernity [1]. Similarly, a reference to an object with a “painted and nickel finish” underscores a refined, industrial quality that blends beauty with functionality [2]. These uses highlight how the color “nickel” can serve as a striking visual metaphor, imbuing literary objects with a sense of timeless durability and aesthetic allure.
  1. "At the worst they can but scratch my beautiful nickel-plate," he said.
    — from The Marvelous Land of Oz by L. Frank Baum
  2. Painted and nickel finish, similar to above but larger and finer equipped.
    — from Fall and Holiday Trade, Season 1900-1901, Nerlich & Co. Illustrated Catalogue by Nerlich & Co.

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.
