Red panda color reference

Ailurus fulgens

The red panda lives in mountain forests of the eastern Himalayas and southwestern China. It eats mostly bamboo leaves and spends much of its time in trees. Despite its name, it is not a close relative of the giant panda.

Colors to reach for

Use russet red and orange for the coat, white for the face markings and ear edges, black for the legs and belly, and rings of red and tan on the tail.
