Arenicolor

/ˌærɪˈnɪkəˌlɔr/ adjective

Definition

Having a sand-like or sandy color; typically referring to pale yellowish or grayish-brown coloring.

Etymology

From Latin 'arena' (sand) + 'color' (color), literally 'sand-colored.'

Kelly Says

Nature uses sand-color camouflage brilliantly—desert animals and insects with arenicolor features disappear against their surroundings, making them nearly invisible to both predators and prey!
