💬 Usage Examples
“It looked as though nature was taking over the planet. The colours were astounding. All shades of the brown: tawn, russet, chestnut, and filemot blending in perfectly with the reds of goldenrod, terracotta, sorrel, and rufous as the greens splashed sprays of apple, antique bronze, celadon, olive, and citrine all over the landscape like rivers of paint. I was driving on a veritable palette. The way the trees contrasted so alarmingly with their brunneous barks left me agape.” Derek Ghirlando; Doune; AuthorHouse; 2017.
