Literary analysis:
The color "sailor blue" has been used in literature to evoke a crisp, maritime charm and a distinctive style. In one example, it is applied literally to depict a character whose attire, including the famed cutlass in his belt, underscores his rugged seafaring life [1]. In another, "sailor blue" adorns Polly’s carefully detailed, double-breasted coat with a great white collar, adding to her stylish and structured appearance [2]. Together, these examples illustrate how "sailor blue" not only serves as an identifier of nautical associations but also enhances character design through its precise, elegant hue.
  1. He was still a sailor and clad in sailor blue, and there was a cutlass in his belt.
    — from The Firelight Fairy Book by Henry Beston
  2. Polly was all in sailor blue, with a distractingly natty little double-breasted coat and great white rolling collar.
    — from A Summer in a Canyon: A California Story by Kate Douglas Smith Wiggin
