How they read
In their own wordsDead 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.
Clay is a Little Greene mid-stone neutral with more ochre than its predecessors — warm, sandy and quietly elegant. It is the colour of dried river clay: not quite beige, not quite yellow.
