The color peach is named after the sweet and juicy peach fruit! It's a soft, warm color that reminds many people of summer and delicious treats.
People started using the word peach to describe this color in the English language way back in 1588. That's a long time ago!
Where the Name "Peach" Comes From
The word peach has an interesting history! It comes from an old English word, peche, which came from an even older French word.
Even further back, the word came from Latin. In Latin, the word was persica, which meant "the fruit from Persia". But here's a cool fact: the peach fruit actually first came from China, not Persia!
