Shotori شتری
Shotori (شتری) is Persian for camel-coloured. Dehkhoda describes it as a colour leaning to yellow, like camel wool, or like ardeh, sesame paste. In rug descriptions it names a camel-coloured ground, which may be camel hair or sheep's wool dyed to the shade; Iranica notes that walnut hulls give beige and tan. It names the colour, not the fibre or the dye.
