Literary notes about camel (AI summary)
In literature the term “camel” isn’t only a reference to the animal—it also evokes a distinct, earthy hue reminiscent of warm, sandy deserts. Authors have harnessed this color to add subtle elegance and an exotic ambience to their descriptions. For instance, a “camel’s‐hair scarf” ([1]) hints at the soft, muted beige that many associate with camel hair, while comparing a carpet to a “camel’s‐hair shawl” ([2]) suggests a refined, natural tone that evokes both durability and timeless beauty. Such color imagery enriches the narrative, drawing connections between landscapes, travel, and the quiet dignity of the desert.

— from Complete Project Gutenberg Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. Works by Oliver Wendell Holmes - “The carpet was like a camel’s-hair shawl, and seemed a mute reminder of the poetry of Persia.
— from Balzac by Edgar Saltus
