Peach Tone

Peach

The peach is a deciduous tree that bears edible juicy fruits with various characteristics. Most are simply called peaches, while the glossy-skinned, non-fuzzy varieties are called nectarines. Though from the same species, they are regarded commercially as different fruits.

Peach (color)

Peach is a color that is named for the pale color of the interior flesh of the peach fruit. Like the color apricot, the color peach is paler than most actual peach fruits and seems to have been formulated primarily to create a pastel palette of colors for interior design.

Tint, shade and tone

In color theory, a tint is a mixture of a color with white, which increases lightness, while a shade is a mixture with black, which increases darkness. A tone is produced either by mixing a color with gray, or by both tinting and shading. Mixing a color with any neutral color reduces the chroma, or colorfulness, while the perceived hue can be affected slightly.
