Literary analysis:
In literature, ultraviolet is not solely a technical term for a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum but also an evocative color that defies conventional perception. Writers have used ultraviolet imagery to suggest a mysterious, almost otherworldly hue that exists at the edge of human vision. For example, one text contrasts the “violet or ultraviolet end” of the spectrum with more familiar colors like red to evoke subtle emotional and symbolic divergence [1]. In another instance, the image of an “ultraviolet beam piercing the starlit darkness” transforms a scientific phenomenon into a poetic metaphor, lending its eerie radiance a quality both tangible and ineffable [2]. Such usages illustrate how ultraviolet, as a color, opens up imaginative spaces where light and shadow intermingle in unconventional ways.
  1. The difference is that "Pelléas et Mélisande" is the violet or ultraviolet end of the spectrum of which "Salome" is the red.
    — from Contemporary Composers by Daniel Gregory Mason
  2. It seemed as inactive as a beam of ultraviolet piercing the starlit darkness.
    — from The Alien by Raymond F. Jones

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.
