    [quote=Elisabrat]peach went out in the 40's didnt it? all the rage back then. Um its ok.. doesnt seem to go much with the rest of the stuff on the market. I like it in a nice t shirt :) of course being so light colored it becomes a magnet for dirt ..and always in all the right spots ..(ps my nickname growing up was Peachy and everyone still loves to slap it on me.. at 48 its not as cute as at 4)[/quote
    I don't think it went out in the 40's as in the 80's & early 90's I
    was into all sorts of crafts and peach was one of the most popular colors. However, I agree it is almost impossible to find now. No peach flowers, no peach ribbon.

    I don't like to eat fruit that I first have to shave.

    When you look at the color "peach" it really is not just one flat color. It ranges from yellow to orange.

    Orange is my favorite color. It works beautifully in a quilt. But for years and years it was impossible to find real orange fabric. Plenty of salmon, rust, and yes, PEACH. Orange has since become a popular color, usually a good selection, but reading this topic and thinking about it, you're right. Almost impossible to find a true peach. Maybe that will be my next search.

    Peach is not a good color to use on walls in the bathroom... you look peachy but you can't tell if you are really sick.

    I love peach but have not tried to purchase any lately. Sounds like I won't have much luck if I need some!

    Probably not. I looked for it at JoAnn Crafts and there were shades close but looked more pink.

    You can hardly find any fabrics in true peach colors these days. Plenty of salmon-rose and orange, but not peach.

    Is it totally out of vogue right now?

    Anyone out there that favors peach?
    it is hard to find a true peach without alot of orange...I love pale green/pearch together
