Salmon reminds me of beachy colors - goes well with turquoise

I used to have salmon poppies in my garden. They were the most beautiful, delicate looking flowers. Do a google search using "salmon poppies" in the search field and then choose images. So many beautiful ideas.

That was my first thought too. Maybe it's from all the years I lived in FL.

I can see large petals on a giant flower (zenias or dallia) in the salmon color on a teal/ turquoise and white setting in a wall hanging. Kind of like artists do when they do a study of an object. Sorry, can't seem to spell anything today.

I think of salmon as being part of the "sherbet" range of colors along with shades of green, yellow, pink and peach. I picture these colors as pairs of flip-flops arranged randomly on an aqua fabric as the beach towel with wide salmon borders top and bottom. I have actually seen something similar and it was so cute.

You could do a really whimsical piece. My thought was a close-up of a big dog's face and his salmon-colored tongue hanging all the way out. Black lab, salmon tongue. Turquoise sky.

Are there any size or shape restrictions? What other colors do you like?
I think I would choose a pattern that I like which is illustrated in Christmas red and green, replace the red with salmon (the shade of the crayon) and the Christmas green with a dark teal or spruce blue-green.
