Literary analysis:
In literary descriptions, “aluminum” is sometimes invoked not for its material properties but for the distinctive, cool, and industrial hue it suggests. Writers use it to evoke a modern, almost futuristic atmosphere by drawing on its reflective, silvery quality. For instance, a blue aluminum wall can transform a simple architectural detail into an emblem of high-tech precision and an almost otherworldly sterility [1]. Similarly, a white aluminum wall is employed to conjure an image of sleek minimalism and an impersonal, crisp environment [2]. In these contexts, the color “aluminum” functions as a visual shorthand for a clean, contemporary aesthetic that imbues everyday settings with a sense of futuristic allure.
  1. Houston stepped over to the blue aluminum wall, reached out a hand, and lowered one finger.
    — from The Penal Cluster by Randall Garrett
  2. The white aluminum wall was hardly a foot thick.
    — from Astounding Stories, April, 1931 by Various

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.
