In the rare instances when "quincy" is used as a color in literature, authors seem to invoke associations with the cool, enduring hues of New England stone. One notable example appears in the description of a church edifice built of "Quincy granite" [1], where the term is not only a reference to a locally sourced material but also serves to suggest a muted, timeless gray that enhances the building’s historic gravitas. In a couple of other texts, the word appears in an isolated, all‐caps form (as in [2] and [3]), hinting at its potential as an emblematic or even symbolic color—a hue that, beyond its literal appearance, carries connotations of solidity and tradition in the literary imagination.
