Benjamin Moore

Dark Salmon

2009-30

Dark Salmon by Benjamin Moore is a strong orange-red with warm undertones and noticeable saturation. Its LRV of 24.87 places it in the lower-mid reflectance range, giving it enough presence to function as a feature color without fully darkening a room. The hue leans more toward red-orange than pink, keeping it grounded in a warm palette.

Hale Navy and Hunter Green provide deep-toned contrast, while Caliente and Tucson Coral sit in a similar warm family. Classic Gray or Simply White can be used to offset its intensity on adjacent surfaces.
