Salmon is a muted pinkish orange, and its usefulness is that it sits very close to warm skin tones. A light source that colour adds warmth to a face without announcing itself as coloured light, which is exactly what you want when the goal is for nobody to notice the lighting at all.
Subtle warmth
Where coral is a visible warm push and orange is unmistakably a coloured light, salmon reads as neutral warm. Behind a webcam it takes the blue edge off a display’s output without shifting the whole frame, which suits calls and recordings where you want to look well lit rather than lit.
A background that flatters skin
Because it is close to skin tone, salmon is a forgiving backdrop for portraits and for anything held in the hand , a product demonstration, a craft video, a close up of a small object. There is no colour clash to correct afterwards.

Salmon screen questions
Why would I use salmon rather than white?
Because a white display throws light close to daylight, which renders skin cooler than most people find flattering. Salmon warms it subtly. It produces less total light than white, so it works best in a room that is not already dark.
Is salmon good as a background colour?
For anything involving skin, yes. It sits close enough to warm skin tone that hands and faces separate softly from it rather than clashing, which is why it is common in close up product and craft video.
