Ivory

A warm off-white — old, kept material with a slight tone of human use.

Ivory in a dream is the dream's image of a warm off-white, the colour of old keys, old paper, old teeth and old tusks. Ivory is white that has been kept, and the keeping shows. The dream brings ivory when something in your life — a kept letter, a long-held photograph, an inheritance — is showing the warm tone of human use. An ivory page touched gently is the dream telling you the keeping is honest. An ivory that has gone yellow and brittle is the dream noting that the keeping has been done in the wrong conditions, and what was meant to be preserved has started to decay.
