How they read
In their own wordsSetting Plaster No. 231 is a dusty pink from Farrow & Ball, named after "the blushing walls we often admire in newly plastered houses". The brand says it is "definitely a pink in historic terms, but has a certain softness to it due to the inclusion of yellow pigment".
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.
