Sounds like a neat job, Jim
The difficult thing I find in describing the color of something I'm
selling is what most people who would buy this that or the other thing
would respond to or see as being most correct - because while I may get
the color spot on on my monitor, and it translates well, the keywords
as words get them to the listing, lets see, is it pomegranate? or
Cranberry? Lemon or Canary? gets tough.

Salmon I think is best. but "coral" might work as well
because even though coral need not be salmon colored it often is.
I think that “coral” would be the more appropriate name, at least in the US,
and assuming my monitor calibration is on target. Salmon is a slightly
yellower hue, IMO. But as you note, coral can cover a range of hues.
As a color designer/paint formulator at DuPont for 30 years, one of my favorite
tasks was naming the annual palette of colors we offered to the automotive
companies. We tried to keep away from names which were too fanciful, seeking
instead names which would evoke the color in the mind of someone reading it in
a brochure. Not always easy…
