Internet Colors - Set of 1035 Ivory Color 459 - FFFFF0
Ivory is a hard, white material, derived from the tusks and teeth of animals,
that is used in art or manufacturing. It consists of dentine, a tissue that is
similar to bone. It has been important since ancient times for making a range
of items, from ivory carvings to false teeth, fans, and dominoes. Elephant
ivory has been the most important source, but ivory from many species including
the hippopotamus, walrus, pig, mammoth, sperm whale, and narwhal has been used.
