ART is Rhapsody's perceptual model. How ART works
What kind of orange is Pale Salmon?
Every color has a place in the standard vocabulary. This is Pale Salmon's, measured rather than asserted.
Pale Salmon's Munsell numbers: hue 9.2R, value 7.9 (how light), chroma 6.7 (how vivid). That places it in ISCC-NBS block moderate yellowish pink, one of 267 named ranges the standard sorts every color into. Chroma 6.7 is low. This is a greyed, muted orange, nearer neutral than vivid, which is why it reads as a surface rather than an accent.
It's already at the edge of what your screen can show for this hue. This color can't go any more saturated and still render.
