Sherwin Williams

Smoky Salmon

SW 6331

Smoky Salmon is a warm, muted pink-orange from Sherwin-Williams with soft pink and peach undertones that give it a dusty, subdued warmth. At an LRV of 53, it reflects a moderate amount of light, placing it in the mid-range where it reads as a noticeable color without being overly bold. The muted red-orange base works in living rooms, dining areas, and bedrooms, particularly in spaces where some warmth on walls is desired without high saturation.

It coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Accessible Beige, Creamy, and Natural Linen as lighter companions, and can be grounded with deeper tones like Naval or Urbane Bronze.
