Russet, the color of autumn, often associated with sadness or serious seriousness. Anticipating the regret of a lifetime, Shakespeare's character Biron says in Love's Labour's Lost Act V, Scene 1: "From then on my mind will reveal/In russet yeas and honestly kersey noes. "
The color is mentioned in a famous quotation taken from a letter written by Oliver Cromwell to Sir William Spring in September 1643: "I would rather have an innocent, rusty captain who knows what he is fighting for, and loves what he knows, than what you call gentleman and nothing else] ".
