salmon 2

Salmon 2 (#EE8262) is a warm, vivid coral from the X11 Salmon series, one step darker than the brightest variant while retaining strong orange-pink energy. It provides a rich, confident coral tone that works well in both print and digital design for warm accent colours. The balance of orange and pink in this variant gives it a classic coral quality that references tropical marine environments and warm-weather aesthetics.

True orange embodies enthusiasm, creativity, and adventure. It stimulates mental activity and social interaction, making it a favorite in creative industries. Orange is highly visible and conveys confidence without the aggression of red, bridging warmth and energy.

Medium orange excels in CTAs, pricing highlights, and gamification elements where excitement is desired. Tech companies and SaaS products use it to differentiate from the dominant blue of their competitors. It requires careful contrast checking since mid-range orange can fail WCAG on light backgrounds.
