The Madidi titi has an agouti body coloration that is orange ventrally (Wallace et al., 2006). The crown is golden, and the throat is deep orange (Wallace et al., 2006). The forehead is dark with a slightly less golden coloration as compared to the crown (Wallace et al., 2006). Deep orange burgundy is found on the limbs from the knees and elbows to the hands and feet (Wallace et al., 2006). The tail is dark with a clear paler whitish tip (Wallace et al., 2006).
