People might be stuck choosing the same adjective over and over again. This can dull a piece of writing. Not even thesauruses can tell someone what to choose for their imagery.

The simplest way is to put a color to an item. A red apple, a black cat, a blue fish, etc. These all create a more specific and detailed vision to the reader. But they are very common and simple adjectives. There is more than just red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, white and black. There is a whole spectrum of thousands of colors.
