Salmon is a range of pale pinkish-orange to light pink colors, named after the color of salmon flesh.
The web color salmon is displayed at right.
The first recorded use of salmon as a color name in English was in 1776.[3]
The actual color of salmon flesh varies from almost white to deep pink, depending on their levels of the carotenoid astaxanthin due to how rich a diet of krill and shrimp the fish feeds on; salmon raised on fish farms are given artificial coloring in their food.[4]
