Lightfoot Salmon

CW-220

Lightfoot Salmon is a mid-depth terra cotta-leaning salmon with an LRV of 33.11, putting it firmly in the medium-dark range. Its undertone sits at the intersection of orange and pink with a muted, earthy quality that distinguishes it from brighter corals. The lower reflectance means it absorbs a fair amount of light and benefits from ample natural or layered artificial lighting.

Edgecomb Gray and White Dove provide neutral relief on adjacent surfaces. Palladian Blue offers a cool complement, and Hale Navy or Backwoods deliver strong tonal contrast.
