Literary analysis:
Writers often use “teak” as a descriptor for a warm, earthy hue that evokes the character of sun-bleached wood. For example, an austere door is depicted as a “slab of bleached teak” [1], suggesting both a natural aging process and a subdued elegance, while another passage describes surfaces with a “weather-worn silvery teak” quality [2] that implies a patina born of time and exposure. In yet another instance, the transformation of material is emphasized by referencing “teak stained black” in ornate furniture, highlighting the versatility of teak’s inherent color spectrum.
  1. The door at the top was an austere slab of bleached teak.
    — from The King of the City by Keith Laumer
  2. Indian red underlies the gilding, and the weather has left some parts gold and some half gold and red, and other bits weather-worn silvery teak.
    — from From Edinburgh to India & Burmah by W. G. (William Gordon) Burn Murdoch



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.
