Realism and Local Color The intent of local color writing was to show the culture and uniqueness of specific regions. Writers who wrote using local color were‚ in most cases‚ connected to the region they were writing about. Mark Twain‚ who is commonly known as being one of the greatest American writers‚ if not the greatest‚ used copious amounts of local color in his stories. In Mark Twain’s Life on the Mississippi he uses local color that gives the reader a better sense of what he experienced
