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, that 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!" [1]
It is the paper color of the Financial Times. Some other business newspapers around the world have copied the Financial Times in using this color, or a similar color.
