What color is Farrow and Ball Dead Salmon?
Farrow and Ball Dead Salmon 28 is a muted, mid-tone neutral with a dusty pink cast softened by beige and brown. Its #b49d8d value reads as gently warm rather than overtly rosy, giving walls a settled, earthy appearance. In bright daylight, the pink-beige undertone is more noticeable, while lower or warmer light can pull it toward a deeper taupe-brown. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and dining spaces where a color with more presence than cream is wanted without a sharp contrast. Pair Dead Salmon with chalky off-whites, aged brass, natural oak, linen upholstery, and dark brown or charcoal accents for a grounded finish.

What are Farrow and Ball Dead Salmon undertones?
Dead Salmon reads as a mid-light, muted dusty pink with a clear peachy-orange direction and low saturation. Its relative undertone appears warm, leaning toward soft orange and beige rather than cool blue or purple, which keeps the pink from looking sugary. Farrow & Ball describes it as an aged pink, a description that fits its visibly softened, slightly weathered pink character. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its peach and warmth, while cool daylight can make it appear a little quieter and more neutral.

LRV of Dead Salmon
Dead Salmon has an LRV of 36.3% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 36.3%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
