What colors make peach?
Peachy pink is like a soft, slightly more pink, orange.

Step 1
Add a dollop of white paint to a painting palette. Use about as much paint as you'll need total. Make sure not to make too little, since it is nearly impossible to create the exact same shade twice.
Step 2
Use a paintbrush to add a tiny amount of red paint to the white paint and mix it around with the brush. The end result should be a very light pink. If the pink is bright or even close to looking like a light red, add more white until the correct shade is obtained.
Step 3
Clean the brush thoroughly with warm water and a paper towel. There should be absolutely no trace of red on the paper towel when you are done. Even the slightest bit of leftover paint can change the entire shade.
Step 4
Add the same minuscule amount of yellow paint that you did red paint and mix with the brush. A little bit goes a long way, so make sure to only add a tiny bit at a time. The addition of the yellow paint should create a fresh, bright peach color.

Experiment With Different Icings
One reason it's hard for someone to tell you exactly how much of each color to add to end up with a specific shade is that different types of icing take color in different ways. Buttercream icing doesn't take color the same way royal icing does, for example, and fondant acts differently than both.
Follow Icing Tips
Color icing one to two hours before decorating with it because the color may change. Colors deepen in buttercream icing and fade in royal and other icings.
