Literary analysis:
Literary authors often employ cloud imagery not only to depict atmospheric conditions but also to evoke colors that mirror emotional and dramatic states. For instance, when a cloud is tinged with red—such as the “Red Cloud” that descends ominously in [1] or the “great red cloud” setting the stage for twilight in [2]—readers are invited to feel both passion and portent. In contrast, dark or black clouds, as seen in [3] and [4], imbue scenes with a sense of foreboding and melancholy, serving as a metaphor for inner turmoil or imminent change. Even the clear, sharply defined whiteness of a cloud, noted for its striking purity in [5], can suggest moments of calm, clarity, or beauty. In these varied appearances, the color of the cloud becomes a versatile literary device that captures the fleeting and often contradictory moods of life.

    — from Mohun; Or, the Last Days of Lee and His Paladins. Final Memoirs of a Staff Officer Serving in Virginia. from the Mss. of Colonel Surry, of Eagle's Nest. by John Esten Cooke
  4. A black cloud driven by the strong east wind was passing over the moon, and for some moments it was almost impossible to see anything.
    — from A Tale of a Lonely Parish by F. Marion (Francis Marion) Crawford

    — from More Pages from a Journal by William Hale White

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.
