Literary analysis:
In literature, the term "antique brass" is employed not just to denote an object’s material but also to evoke a distinctive, aged hue—a warm, muted golden tone that carries echoes of history. Authors use this color descriptor to enhance visual imagery and suggest an air of vintage sophistication. For example, antique brass is used to characterize the appearance of everyday items such as trivets found in antique shops ([1], [2]) and decorative elements like drop-lights ([3]), lending these objects an old-world charm through their evocative color. Similarly, the term imbues pieces of furniture and accessories with an added layer of historical allure, combining the tactile sense of aged metal with a vibrant, timeworn patina that deepens the reader's experience.

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.
