    About Salmon

    Salmon is a pinkish-orange red inspired by the fish. It's warm and friendly, sitting right between pink and orange on the color wheel.

    Named after the pink flesh of salmon fish. The color became fashionable in the 1920s and has cycled in and out of popularity ever since. It was huge in 1980s fashion.

    Salmon works well for food packaging, especially seafood. It's popular in fashion for spring and summer. Interior designers use it to add warmth without being too bold. Great for social media graphics.
