Salmon (color) 880993 211507547 2008-05-10T18:50:05Z DHN-bot 575307 robot Modifying: [[hi:साल्मन (रंग)]] {{Unreferenced|date=January 2007}} '''Salmon''' is a range of pale [[pink]]ish-[[Orange (colour)|orange]] to light orange [[color]]s, named after the color of [[salmon]] flesh. Actual salmon color varies from almost white to deep red, depending on their levels of the [[carotenoid]] [[astaxanthin]] due to how rich a diet of [[krill]] and [[shrimp]] the fish feeds on; the salmon raised on [[fish farm]]s are given artificial coloring in their food. {{color swatch|#FA8072|Salmon (<tt>#FA8072</tt>)|right}} ==Light Salmon Pink== {{infobox color| title= Light Salmon Pink| hex= FF9999| r=255|g=153|b=153| c= 32|m=0|y=41|k= 4| h= 0|s= 40|v= 100 }} '''Light Salmon Pink''' is a light [[pink]] color that resembles the color salmon. The name is derived from the flesh color of the [[pink salmon]]. The nutrient that imparts the pink flesh color is [[astaxanthin]], which salmon ingest when they feed on other marine organisms, such as [[krill]] and small [[shrimp]]. It has become a running joke that when a male wears clothing that is pale pink (usually bought by a female loved one) to emphatically insist "It's not pink, it's salmon!"

Hence [[economic press]] is sometimes named ''salmon press'' as opposed to white general newspapers. {{-}} ==Salmon Pink== {{main|Salmon pink}} {{infobox color| title= Salmon Pink| hex= FF91A4| r=255|g=145|b=164| c= 0|m= 54|y= 42|k= 0| h= 14|s= 62|v=100 |source=[[List of Crayola crayon colors|Crayola]]}} The color '''salmon pink''' is displayed at right.
