Peach and Cream color palette
peachpuff · 0.038
lemonchiffon · 0.007
Peach carries just enough warmth to read as a soft orange without tipping into anything saturated. Cream sits almost at white with a faint yellow cast, so the two feel sun-warmed rather than sweet.
is very low at 1.41 to 1, and the sit only 47 degrees apart, so they blend instead of competing. Their midpoint is a pale warm beige (#FFE4BA), which shows how seamlessly they meet.
That softness is why the pairing shows up at weddings, across stationery, floral arrangements, and table linens. It also suits bedrooms and nurseries where you want light walls and warmth without any visual edge.

Why Peach and Cream blend best in OKLab
The same two colors blended three ways. This site uses OKLab, which keeps the blend smooth and evenly lit. The other two are shown so you can see what to avoid: sRGB darkens and muddies the middle, and HSL detours through colors that are not in your palette.
Accessibility
Do not place Peach text on Cream (or the reverse) for body copy. For readable text, pair a dark scale step such as peach-800 or cream-900 with a light one like cream-50.
Contrast pairing grid
Rows are Peach steps, columns are Cream steps. Each mark is a Peach step shown on a Cream step: a check means it clears WCAG AA for text (4.5:1). If you can read the mark, the pairing is legible.

}How we name colors
There is no single official authority for naming colors. We use the common, widely recognized name as the primary label for each color (here, Peach and Cream); many common names are themselves W3C CSS named colors. For transparency we also show the nearest W3C CSS named color and the perceptual distance, ΔE, measured in OKLab. A small ΔE means the name is essentially exact; a larger one means it is the closest standard name rather than a perfect match.
Sources: W3C CSS Color Module Level 4 and the open color-name-list dataset, used to verify every color sits near a recognized name.
