How they read
In their own wordsSandbank SW 6052 is a warm pink-beige in Sherwin-Williams' red family, with an LRV of 40.22.
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.
