The difference

Read from the numbers

Both read warm. Both belong to the pink family.

How they read

In their own words

Templeton Pink No. 303 is a Farrow & Ball colour the brand describes as a historic-feeling pink, developed for the dining room at Templeton House to offset its Wedgwood plaques.

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.
