Arctic fox color reference
Vulpes lagopus
The Arctic fox lives on the tundra around the North Pole. In most of its range its coat is white in winter and turns brown or gray in summer. Small ears, a short muzzle and fur on the soles of its feet help it hold on to body heat.
Colors to reach for
Keep the coat mostly white with pale blue-gray shadows and a little cream, and use black for the nose and eyes.
