Giant clam color reference
Tridacna gigas
The giant clam is the largest bivalve in the world and lives on coral reefs in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Tiny algae living in its colorful mantle make food from sunlight and share it with the clam. A giant clam can live for many decades.
Colors to reach for
Make the mantle the star with turquoise, blue, green and gold spots, and keep the ridged shell in soft gray-white and cream.
