My little vice is magazines...always has been. Last week I was cruising through a shelter mag and I saw an article on paint colors. Oh dear, I found a color that I really liked...Farrow and Ball "Dead Salmon".
What the ????
No way.
Sorry Farrow and Ball.
I just can't.
Paint names matter to me, call me a sissy-girl.
My house is Edelweiss with Stonewall trim.
The studio is Sunshine, office / Buckskin, cabin cupboards / Heartsmere, dining room / Providence Olive...I gotta love the name to buy the paint.
Even though I love the color...I just can't smear dead salmon on my walls.
Ewwwww!

Know what you mean. This one would throw me too.
I totally agree -- get them to rename it salmon pate and then paint your dining room that color ....
why would they even use that name?
I SO agree with you ! I must be terribly out of touch - I've never heard of Farrow and Ball. Today two of you have posted about this company - Fabulously French is painting her shop "Elephant's Breath"....it must be some inside joke within the company -- ?
What were they thinking? Almost politically incorrect here in the Pacific Northwest.
There are better paint colors, at least better names out there. Keep looking.
Dead Salmon- what moron named that paint. Elephants breath" What next ... dung brown. Goodness gracious.
They need to rename the color buckskin or baby fawn or something like that.
Hi Shelly, I totally agree! When we were deciding between the gazillion array of white swatches for our trim - I narrowed it down by name alone. How can you not? 'Dead Salmon'...what were they thinking? ; ) Trina
