7. I agree with your assessment, particularly about using it in clothing.

The color would draw out any pink or red that someone has in their complexion. I don't think that it would look good on any complexion.

I think that Pantone struck out on this one because even when they chose colors that could be considered as "accent colors" it was still possible for them to be used in fashion as we would sometimes see on Project Runway. I don't see this color being suitable for much more than a blouse (maybe in satin) under a jacket or for a pair of shoes, rather than creating a complete outfit.

I remember this color (as salmon) in the early 80s. It's very pleasing set off against black. Demit Jan 2019 #13

Salmon had far less red in it. TexasTowelie Jan 2019 #14

In Pantone's proprietary color system, maybe. Demit Jan 2019 #16
