Just opinion and not an expert in the period. If you achieved it with a period process, one can assume that it probably was available and possibly worn in that period. In the next century you find pink and pinkish garments in illuminations. I would say since it is a good color on you to not dye it again. Also, though it is a bit bright (probably from the sheen of the fabric) it is not a shocking salmon color. I would not wear the shade of yellow that you have there as it detracts. What you offset this salmon with will determine whether the gown stands out or you.
