Walrus color reference

Odobenus rosmarus

The walrus lives in the Arctic and rests on ice and rocky shores. Both males and females have long tusks, which they use to haul themselves out of the water. Hundreds of stiff whiskers help it find clams on the sea floor.

Colors to reach for

Use cinnamon brown and warm pink for the skin, ivory for the tusks, and pale tan for the whiskers.

  • cinnamon
  • pink
