ARGENT... beautiful. Perfect. Especially useful that it's a little unfamiliar. In terms of other color synonyms, I know I'm using sable for black, but I've been searching for words on the same level for other colors, particularly green, red, blue, and gold. Any suggestions?
Words are amazing and endless! (and I love them so much 😭) Colors are especially great, I think, because you can pull them from literally anywhere and get a totally different flavor.
I generally like to pull from gemstones, metalworking, and nature. But if by “on the same level” you mean equally obscure, here are some fun color words that I've come across:
foxfire the phosphorescent light emitted by certain fungi
verdant of the bright green color of lush grass
bittersweet a plant typically bearing poisonous red berries
sanguineous Bloodred; of, relating to, or involving bloodshed
cyanean or cyaneous cerulean; of dark blue
aurous of, relating to, or containing gold
Fandom-specific colors are always fun too, and can make your writing feel more immersive. Breath of the Wild especially has loads of compendium entries and places to pull colors from. And of course you can always google “Words for (color)” or pop the color into your favorite online thesaurus for more options. (Thesaurus.com or Power Thesaurus, for example.)
Thanks for the ask! 😍
