Peach Color Palette

Peach is a pale orange with pink in it — the colour of the fruit skin. At 24° hue and 74% lightness it is essentially coral lightened, and it behaves like a warm neutral rather than an accent. Grab the HEX codes from a scheme below, or build a custom peach palette around any base colour with the generator.

Peach Palette Ideas & HEX Codes

Soft Peach is the widest, from a near-white #FFF3EC down to #F08A5D. Warm Peach is deeper and slightly redder (15°–24°), ending on #D96C43. Peach & Cream adds the cream ground, #FEF6EC, that makes it usable as a complete scheme.

What Goes With Peach

Peach is warm and light, so it wants either a cool counterweight or a dark anchor — sage green and mint green are the standard pairings, while a deep brown or charcoal handles the text. Weddings, baby and skincare brands, and spring campaigns use it. For the saturated version of the same hue see coral.

Frequently Asked Questions

What HEX codes make a peach palette?
Peach palettes are soft, warm and light: pale cream tints (#FFF3EC, #FEF6EC), a true peach (#FFB07C, #FFCBA4) and a deeper coral-peach accent (#F08A5D, #D96C43) for contrast. Keeping saturation gentle and tones warm gives the delicate, fresh peach feel. Rather than mixing your own, take one of the three sets above: Soft Peach, Warm Peach or Peach & Cream. Their outer limits are #D96C43 and #FEF6EC, a ratio of 3.1:1, enough for large headings but short of the 4.5:1 needed for body text.
What is the difference between peach and coral?
Peach and coral differ in lightness. Peach #FFB07C and coral #FF7F50 are within a few degrees of each other in hue, 24° and 16°, and both are fully saturated. Peach is 74% light and coral 66%, which is enough to change the reading completely: peach behaves like a tint you can fill a background with, coral like an accent you use sparingly.
How do I use these colours in CSS?
Click Copy CSS for a ready-to-paste :root block with each colour as a custom property (--color-1, --color-2 and so on), or copy a single HEX straight from any swatch above. The generator here starts anchored to #FFB07C, so the first block you copy is a set of peach variations rather than a random hue. Copy JSON returns the same five values as an array for a build step or a token file, and Copy HEX returns them as a plain comma-separated line. Lock any swatch you want to keep before generating again and it survives into the next export.
Which peach shade should I use as a background?
For a page or card background take the lightest step in the set — #FEF6EC on this page. Black text on #FEF6EC comes to 19.6:1, well past the 4.5:1 WCAG AA line. There is no genuinely dark step in this set — #D96C43 is the deepest and white text on it manages only 3.4:1 — so a darker neutral has to come from outside the palette. The mid steps are better spent on borders, chart fills and hover states, where nothing has to be read at 14px.
