The difference

Read from the numbers

Both read warm. Coral Spice is a orange, Dead Salmon a pink.

How they read

In their own words

Coral Spice 2170-40 is a mid-tone coral from Benjamin Moore's Color Preview collection, which the brand describes as "a vivacious shade of coral with a feel-good vibe". Its LRV is 43.46.

Dead Salmon takes its name from an eighteenth-century decorating bill at Kedleston Hall, where 'dead' meant matte rather than deceased. The color is a muddy pink-beige — salmon left in the sun until only the memory of pink remains. At LRV 35 it is a real mid-tone with unusual depth for a neutral.
