HTML Hex for Moccasin is #FFE4b5
A kind of shoe with low heels, with the top sides stitched upwards.
A Native North American shoe made of deerskin.
A light beige colour, like that of a moccasin.
A moccasin is a shoe, made of deerskin or other soft leather, consisting of a
sole and sides made of one piece of leather, stitched together at the top, and
sometimes with a vamp (additional panel of leather). The sole is soft and
flexible and the upper part often is adorned with embroidery or beading. Though
sometimes worn inside, it is chiefly intended for outdoor use, as in exploring
wildernesses and running. Historically, it is the footwear of many Indigenous
peoples of North America; moreover, hunters, traders, and European settlers
wore them. Etymologically, the moccasin derives from the Algonquian language
Powhatan word makasin and from the Proto-Algonquian word *maxkeseni (shoe).
