Valspar

Salmon Run

2002-6B

Valspar Salmon Run is a warm salmon pink with enough orange to feel sunlit. The midtone coral base needs simple finishes nearby. The color can enliven a powder room, pantry, or vintage-style kitchen nook, especially near cream trim and woven shades.

On a large wall, the peach side grows stronger. Sage green, natural oak, or white tile keep it grounded. Skip cool gray counters; they can make the salmon look too warm.

Salmon Run in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
