Ivory
At first one thinks of tusks of some sort, perhaps a neutral color, perhaps something bland. But with the lack of color for the eyes to play with, I first thought that the texture of something ivory is terribly important. Think wedding dresses. The beauty of them isn't necessarily in the color, or even in the outward shape (as the shapes tend to follow a limited number of themes), but in the texture of the gowns themselves. Lace, silk, organza, satins. Beaded, folded, embroidered. It's the feel of them that gives them varied looks, that prompt various emotions when viewed.
In light of the fact that my wedding dress is not here for me to photograph, I've instead picked an ivory brocade sheet set that gives me the same feelings. The texture is what makes it so wonderful, a beautiful feeling to sink down into it and fall asleep, as if in a bed made for royalty.
Very pretty! Did you share it in the Flickr group?
