Ivory (Elephant Tusk)

Ivory is an off-white color that resembles ivory, the material from which the teeth and tusks of animals (such as, notably, the elephant and the walrus) is made. It has a very slight tint of yellow. The first recorded use of ivory as a color name in English was in 1385. The color "ivory" was included as one of the X11 colors when they were formulated in 1987.

The Ivory-colored cymbidium is a species of orchid. Ivory is used adjectivally in the names of several birds to describe their appearance, including the Ivory Gull, Ivory-backed Woodswallow, Ivory-billed Aracari, Ivory-billed Woodcreeper, Ivory-billed Woodpecker and Ivory-breasted Pitta.
