Salmon Pink#FE7B7C, a warm vivid peach

At a glanceSalmon Pink is #FE7B7C, oklch(73.5% 0.160 21.3), a warm vivid peach. Match it with a cool bold blue #457BC0 as an accent, a warm medium amber #D9A464 for harmony, and a warm dusty red #9E8B8A as a neutral. Try it as a screen-first brand or accent color, or an error / danger color, and it takes black text at AA contrast. It shifts further on press than a run can hold, though, so Rhapsody would keep it off print-led brand work.

Color family

What kind of orange is Salmon Pink?

That places it in ISCC-NBS block vivid yellowish pink, one of 267 named ranges the standard sorts every color into. Chroma 11.8 is moderate. Clearly colored, but not so saturated it fights the colors around it.

There's still some room before it hits the edge of what your screen can show for this hue. It could go a little more saturated and stay in gamut.
