Moonlit lake water, the pale underside of Mexico's endangered salamander.
Axolotl is a pale beige.
It can be described as pale, delicate, faded and luminous.
Set in black, because black reads best on it.
The axolotl is a species of mole salamander. It is neotenic, reaching sexual maturity without undergoing metamorphosis, and the adults remain fully aquatic with obvious external gills. Axolotls may be difficult to distinguish from the larval stage of other neotenic adult mole salamanders, in particular the tiger salamander, or other species such as mudpuppies.
