Salmon Colors

Orange undertones pull Salmon away from pink and toward sun warmed clay. This family sits between coral and peach, showing up in bedrooms, breakfast rooms, textiles, old tile, and exterior stucco accents.

Using salmon in your home

Use Salmon where warmth is welcome but full orange would feel too loud: guest rooms, dining nooks, bathrooms, or a front door. South light brings out the orange quickly. North light can make softer salmon feel more pink. Pair with creamy trim, olive, dusty blue, walnut, or warm gray. Mind fixed tile. Pink beige tile can make salmon look fleshy, and yellow oak can make it look stronger.

Frequently asked questions

Is Salmon paint pink or orange?

Salmon is a pink orange. In real rooms, the lighting and nearby finishes decide which side you notice first.

How does Salmon behave in south light?

South light makes Salmon warmer and more orange. Choose a muted sample if the room already has warm floors or warm bulbs.
