Of course, Camel is the color of the fur of the hump-backed pack animal of the same name, but it is also so much more than that. Camel is also the color of the iconic leather jacket Jenifer Aniston wore in the “Friends” episode where she bought a Sphinx cat for $1000. Though the cat was the central joke, no one was laughing at the fantastic Camel-colored jacket because it was a masterpiece.
How the color is made: To make camel mix dark brown-toned orange with very pale yellow to produce a golden brown.
History: The sandy color of Camel was a color typically associated with wood or ground and was considered one of nature's foundational colors. Camel can of course be seen in antique portraits that have animals as the main subject like Edward Hicks’ “The Peaceable Kingdom” (1826).

Because Camel is considered one of the lighter neutral colors it is often the one that is seen in just about every new collection that comes out each year.
Camel works well in the home interior and office interior. It is much warmer than the typical grays and blacks that companies tend to go for and is therefore an option that makes employees feel more relaxed and productive.
