Choice of colors
Before you start creating peach colors, you need to decide on the necessary colors.
The base for this light shade is white. The brightness and intensity of the color will depend on the ratio of additional tones.
What colors should you add to white paint to achieve a clean hue? As you know, when mixing any paints, the base is only three colors: blue, yellow and red. We will need the last two shades. The same colors are used to produce orange, but in different proportions.
The result will largely depend on the depth of the paint chosen. Also, as additional colors, artists use brown, which makes the shade more muted and dark. Green and blue give the base tone a cool undertone.

Mixing technique
When the right set of colors has been found, it's time to think about how to mix paints correctly.
It often happens that you want to get a color “like this one.” If there is a sample that you want to get as close to as possible, place it on white paper in front of you. It doesn’t matter what it is - a piece of fabric or a peach fruit. Apply white paint generously to the palette or plate, and then add red and yellow paint little by little, stirring thoroughly each time. Does the color already resemble the desired one? Then make a smear on the paper next to the sample. After this, it will become clear what other colors to add to get the desired shade.
A few tips will help you achieve high-quality results.
- The paint changes color slightly as it dries, so you will need to wait for comparison.
- When adding accent colors, do it drop by drop: pale colors are very easy to ruin. Different paints must be added separately and mixed after each portion until smooth. Otherwise, there is a risk of getting a dirty color.
- If you are going to cover a large surface with peach paint, do not forget to write down the proportions of all additives. It is important not only to obtain a successful shade, but also to be able to reproduce it.
To obtain a peach color, yellow and red are mixed in small quantities with white paint.
What and how to do with paints
The peach shade is included in the warm palette of the natural range of colors. Find a sample that you want to repeat: a piece of fabric, paper, wallpaper, a color photo, a peach skin, following the example of Salvador Dali.
Prepare materials: photo of your favorite interior; a large sheet of paper, preferably whatman paper; paints: red, yellow, white, brown, green; brush; disposable plate or art palette for mixing paints; palette knife or spoon for dispensing paint; mixing stick.
Start tinting! Paste a color sample onto whatman paper. Put a base white paint on the palette, add a little red and yellow to it - mix. Stir until a uniform color is obtained. Make a few strokes next to the color sample, this will be the so-called shading. The first shade you will get is pink and white, continue to add paints in doses, the goal is a peach color in the coloring. In the process of creative impulse, do not forget about prose: if you need to paint a large area, then you need to write down the proportions of the colors being mixed, otherwise the result will only work for small objects. It is worth making a table and recording data in it.
By mixing the base colors, you get peach in several shades.
If the first painted result does not match, continue to add small amounts of paint and test after each step. Take a closer look at the shade, it may have more brown or greenish shades. It is important to let each color dry; a wet stroke may differ from a dry stroke. Also consider the color intensity: perhaps the shade has already been selected, but the color intensity is too high - add solvent or water, depending on the paints used. This step allows you to get a soft pastel, light peach color.
It is important to let each color dry; a wet brushstroke may differ from a dry one!

There are many other names for colors, depending on the scope of application and the authorship of the names. In fact, when mixing colors, you can get any of them if you experiment a little with the proportions of dyes.
Common mistakes when coloring cream cheese
Now is the time to remember common mistakes. Very often there are inclusions of dye on cream cheese. If this is your first time using dye, it is better to leave the cream cheese in the refrigerator for a while (10-20 minutes) so that the dye develops. If inclusions remain, stir the cream well.
Some gel colors can also thin out your cream cheese. Therefore, it is worth adding a few drops of it and stirring well; if the cream changes its structure, it is better to set.
Any gel dye must be shaken before use.
Typically, coloring cream cheese does not cause many problems. If you are not sure that you will get the right color, test the dye on a small amount of cream.
To summarize, I want to say that cream cheese is not the most harmful cream, but the basics of preparation and especially coloring must be taken into account. Do not try to color a cream cheese cake for the first time to level the cake with a new dye, it is better to test it first. Don't be afraid to experiment and try something new! But always experiment with “homemade” desserts.
Interior in peach tones
Peach colors are perfect for decorating almost any room in the apartment: they give peace and go well with anything. A peach-colored composition is often chosen to cover walls: it can give a textured, rough look to even a smooth surface.
This tone will look good in the bedroom, filling it with pleasant emotions and instilling peace before bed. In the morning, the color of the summer fruit will make up for the lack of light and sun and provide vigor. Peach will fit perfectly into a child’s room – both a boy and a girl.
Paired with pistachio, green or brown, the shade will no longer look too delicate, and together with pink and white, on the contrary, it will acquire additional softness.
All of the above combinations are close to those found in nature, so children will feel calm and confident in this design.
A sweet juicy peach will also be at home in the kitchen. Add the aromas of cooking to the warm colors and you get a cozy atmosphere that will attract the whole family. In such an environment, even everyday household work will become pleasant.
If you don’t want to completely change the interior of the rooms, peach-colored accessories will add sunny notes. These could be curtains, pillows, furniture elements. Bright paintings in peach tones are another option on how to get an eternal window into summer.

In an interior with a classic theme, plain wallpaper or with a small pattern is suitable.
