Literary analysis:
In literature, the term "oatmeal" has, though rarely, been used to evoke a particular color quality—one that suggests a soft, muted, earthy tone reminiscent of the grain itself. For example, in [1] a character’s towel is described as "oatmeal‐coloured coarse linen striped with red," where the color serves not only as a visual cue but also as a marker of subtle, rustic charm. This single instance highlights how authors can borrow everyday associations, like the gentle hue of oatmeal, to add depth and texture to their descriptions.
  1. I had been given a small towel of oatmeal-coloured coarse linen striped with red, and a piece of soap wrapped up in a rag of white flannelette.
    — from Prisons & Prisoners: Some Personal Experiences by Lytton, Constance, Lady

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.
