How they read

In their own words

Lotus Flower SW 6310 is a soft pink in Sherwin-Williams' red family, rated for interior and exterior use. Compositepaint.com describes a warm red undertone that reads as a rosy pink, with an LRV of 57.

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.
