Colour Range
Camel down is a naturally warm tan, and it is offered undyed in those natural tones. It can also be brought to white first — and from white it takes any shade on our colour card, or any Pantone beyond it. Bringing it to white adds very little time, so a dyed camel colour runs to roughly the same lead time as any other.
A physical colour card with all 81 shades, in real dyed cashmere, is available on request. Order a colour card →
