Natural elements

Colors named after natural elements often derive their names from the hues associated with those elements. For instance, “Rose Red” evokes the vibrant red color of a rose flower, while “Mahogany Brown” captures the rich, reddish-brown tone of mahogany wood. Similarly, “Tiger Orange” reflects the fiery orange fur of a tiger, and “Peacock Blue” embodies the iridescent blue-green hues found in a peacock’s plumage. These color names create vivid imagery, drawing inspiration from the diverse beauty of the natural world.
