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.
Savage Ground is a warm, sandy beige from Farrow & Ball's archive — a yellow-leaning neutral that reads as sunlit rather than safe. It is the color of a stone floor in a Provençal kitchen, and it makes a room feel warmer without asking anyone to notice why.
