Reindeer color reference
Rangifer tarandus
Reindeer live in the Arctic and subarctic, and in North America they are called caribou. They are the only deer in which both males and females grow antlers. Their wide hooves help them walk on snow and dig for food beneath it.
Colors to reach for
Use warm brown and gray-brown for the body, cream for the neck mane and rump, dark brown for the legs, and tan for the antlers.
