'Dead Salmon' doesn't exactly sound like the most endearing of shades, however, Farrow & Ball's muddy pink paint is a best seller due to its perfect balance of not being quite pink but not being a total neutral either.
It's also one of those shades that completely changes under different lights, so it works in all lighting, sometimes looking like a muted pink, sometimes looking like a light brown, and sometimes looking somewhere in between. It's a really sophisticated shade, and its popularity is a lot down to the fact that it's a way to bring pink into your home without it ever looking overly sweet, you get the warmth and the pop of color but it always looks grown up.
