Among all the unusual colors, one of the most beautiful and at the same time difficult to combine is the shade of moray eel. In this article we will tell you what moray eel color looks like, and also give examples of fabrics with this shade. At the end of the article, you will traditionally find photos with examples of a combination of moray eel-colored clothing and its characteristics.
What does the color of a moray eel look like?
The shade of moray eel in the modern registry is listed under the number #1C6B72. Moray eel color is blue-green with a gray undertone. It looks very noble on almost all types of fabric. Strictly speaking, the moray eel color is not the color of the sea fish of the same name, which is more like an eel. It should be noted that living moray eels themselves are of a calmer shade and have little in common with the designated color. However, when a person looks at them through the water on a sunny day, the same combination of the shade of sea water and the color of the fish itself appears.Perhaps that is why this beautiful and deep color was named after a not-so-pretty sea creature.
History of moray eel color
The first mention of this color is found in Ancient India. It is believed that pearl fishermen most often encountered moray eels, and they may have noticed the unusually beautiful color of these dangerous fish. And they could not help but pay attention to them, since these creatures can attack a person, especially if he carelessly swims past the cave where a family of moray eels lives, or (even more so) sticks his hand in there. The first pearl fishers appeared about four thousand years ago and, most likely, then they met these multi-colored sea inhabitants. It is not known for certain when exactly and who was able to fix this color on the fabric and achieve a stable color. Most likely, this happened in the 19th century, when the production of dyes reached a new level.
How moray eel color looks on different fabrics and what color type it suits

Moray eel color is distinguished by its depth and nobility. It looks equally good on thick and thin fabrics. This is the case when color automatically improves the appearance of the fabric: even a product made from not very high-quality raw materials, thanks to its rich shade, will look expensive, and with proper care it can last a long time. The moray eel shade is especially suitable for the winter and autumn color types. On a representative of the latter type, moray eel will look especially advantageous, like all other shades of blue-green and turquoise.But it is worth noting that this color has age restrictions: it looks too strict on young girls, so you should avoid it in a schoolgirl’s wardrobe (unless we are talking about a school uniform or other formal costume).
What products are made from moray eel-colored fabric and how to combine an image with them
Moray eel color is universal. This shade will look good both on thick cashmere coat fabric and on transparent chiffon textures intended solely for decoration. This season, coats made from materials with this shade have become popular.
Due to the fact that moray eel is a fairly dark color, designers prefer to sew winter and demi-season items from fabrics of this shade. However, summer evening dresses made of satin fabrics will also look quite advantageous on dark-haired models. The most obvious and banal combination in the case of the moray eel shade is the addition of black or dark brown accessories. This is the perfect solution for situations when you don't know what to wear, but need to leave the house in five minutes and look presentable. Moray goes well with similar cool blue shades, and also looks textured in images with dark orange shades with a cool undertone and all rich brown-red shades. For a lighter look, you can choose a combination of moray eel and a cool shade of silver gray.
