Elk color reference
Cervus canadensis
The elk lives in North America and parts of Asia and is one of the largest deer. In the fall the males make a loud, high call known as a bugle. Each spring the males grow new antlers, which they shed in late winter.
Colors to reach for
Use tan and light brown for the body, darker brown for the neck mane, cream for the rump patch and warm brown for the antlers.
