An aged salmon pink
A subtle shade whose name refers to the flat or ‘dead’ finish of an aged pink painted at Kedleston Hall in 1805, Dead Salmon has a magical quality to it as everyone sees it differently. Be it a strong mushroom steeped in history, or a warming buff neutral, this deep salmon pink creates the most subtle and serene of environments suitable as a backdrop in candlelit dining rooms.

Hot chocolate with wipped cream
At first we used Dead Salmon as a feature colour on our mantelpiece wall in our north west facing living room. All other walls are painted Joa's White. The combination is beautiful, the Dead Salmon adds warmth and makes a statement without being too bold.
We liked this unusual colour so much, that we then used Dead Salmon in a rather dark small study, where it looks more brownish and less pink but is even more stunning. We combined it with Pointing, the contrast is modern but very warm.
As said in other reviews: The color is very hard to describe. We think it is the color of hot chocolate with wipped cream. But however you want to describe it: it is just stunning.

I loved the way this colour changes under different light.
I purchased this colour for my hallway because I had just finished painting my living room in Calamine and wanted a colour that would run with it. When my painter started using it we were amazed by how this colour shimmers under the light and it became a family game deciding what colour the paint was. Under one light it had a pinky hue, another it had a purple hue and the overall colour was a light coffee hue. Whatever the shade is I love it, everyone who has come into my home has made a comment on how nice it is. I've spoilt my decorator as he no longer wants to use anything but Farrow and Ball paint (although he is realises that's not gonna happen). Both my rooms have a lovely finish and I would recommend this paint to everyone.
