Scallop and clam color reference
Scallops can swim by clapping their two shells together and have rows of small eyes along the shell edge. Clams burrow into sand with a muscular foot. Both are bivalves, mollusks with a shell in two hinged halves.
Colors to reach for
Give the scallop warm orange, coral and cream ribs, and the clam tan, cream and soft brown growth lines.
