- The color salmon is know to provide good health because salmon contains Omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for you.
- The color pale salmon (shown below) represents finance because it is used as the color of the paper on which some economic newspapers like the Financial Times are printed (it is also the color of logo of the Financial Times website). Hence the economic press is sometimes termed the salmon press as opposed to regular general newspapers published on off-white colored newsprint.
