Local color is a narrative technique in
fiction that presents the shared
unique local practices and values of
people in a particular place.

stories, and geography of people
who live in a particular place. For
instance, when reading a text to
understand the local colors, one has to

sociocultural practices and
values embedded in the
narrative elements—
