About Lightfoot Salmon

In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Lightfoot Salmon's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for bedrooms, nurseries, powder rooms and accent walls. Next to Bed and Breakfast (CC-184), it's lighter and cooler.
