We've all been there.
We've all seen it (at least once).
Perhaps even committed the "easy" crime.
آپ know what I'm talking about.
"His cheeks were red with embarrassment."
"Anna checked the balance sheets again, coming to a conclusion the the financials were a deep crimson."
"I stared into his blue eyes as deep as the ocean."
Colors, like anything else, are powerful descriptive pieces. When used as a comparison یا a contrast, the reader is painted a picture of the person/object's look and the setting as a whole. It should make the scene come together in a seamless flow.
For example, the "red with embarrassment" idiom has... wore out its welcome if آپ will. Many of us have seen this written and do آپ ever wonder what else آپ could describe embarrassment with?
Try this sentence.
"Our teacher announced Jake Foreman as the winner of the poetry contest. I had to nearly shove him out of the chair to get up to receive his award, standing up on shaky limbs. After he reached the teacher's ڈیسک he grinned like crazy, cheeks brighter than the سٹرابیری, اسٹرابیری pendant he wore."
We see here that the red cheeks for embarrassment is a well known symbolism, but not one tied down to a specific idiom یا phrasing.
Also with colors, be careful not to mix too many contrasts as it may take away from the impact the color is describing.
From the blog WritersHelpingWriters:
"Once Wendy had loaded up at the buffet she sashayed to our table, smiling like she actually thought she belonged. She’d chosen a short ebony dress as her outfit this evening, which made her bloated white legs as appealing as soiled hospital linen."
What’s wrong with this example?
The emphasis is مزید on how the black سکرٹ, گھیرنا makes her legs look, rather than describe the سکرٹ, گھیرنا itself. If the black object is important, don’t let other things overrun the description.
Here's a stronger way to describe the skirt:
"Once Wendy had loaded up at the buffet she sashayed to our table, smiling like she actually thought she belonged. As she stood there balancing a heaped plate, I took a closer look at the ridiculous ebony dress encasing her chubby form. What was she thinking–a shiny number like that should make the wearer look sleek, not a dung beetle clinging to its precious meal."
Why is this example better?
It provides a simile that gives an apt image and also really says something about the nastiness of the person making the comparison.
Of course that's not to say that every single thing needs to have a specific detail on its looks, but it does invoke a stronger relation to the object and/or person one is trying to convey.

Everyone was writing it down on their calenders as alerts of it popped up on the news, internet, and in big bold letters, on a newspaper! The time has come for it to be known to mankind and liked! The movie, Brenda and Luci's Night, was premiering on that weekend, the 25th of November.Everyone wanted to see it! There had been commercials of it since August, and the stars had been anxious. Speaking of the "stars" Whose names were Hillisia Jones, and Ponya Kricketiz. They were bff's since the kindergarten, and now they were in 7th grade. They auditioned for the movie without the other knowing! They were astounded when they learned they were auditioning for the same movie. They were mad, but when Ponya got the letter she was Brenda, and Hillisia was Luci, they were overjoyed, and began screaming with cheers! Now they were in New York being filmed for the movie... wait for more!
