Using this palette
The brown-tinged dark swatch (#4A2E24) is doing specific representational work — actual smoked salmon has a genuinely darker, browner edge where the smoking process colors the flesh, and including that rather than jumping straight to pink is what separates this from peach-fuzz's cleaner pink-orange ramp or a generic 'salmon color' guess. #4A2E24 is dark enough to anchor copy against the lighter four here. Suits culinary/seafood branding, or any interior/product context wanting the specific dusty coral-pink named after this fish rather than a brighter, more generic peach or coral tone.
