Okay, so I say “peachy pink” a lot. I use the term when I
try to explain to students how to handle light-value warm color temperature in
the landscape. Some of my students in a recent workshop were teasing me about
it.
I’m not sure how I came to start saying “peachy pink.” I
guess it’s just the easiest way to get across a color that’s between a pink and
an orange. And it’s often a go-to
color I use when I see a strong highlight on something like a tree trunk. When
working from a reference photo, that sort of highlight will often appear white in the photo. But if you painted it that way, it wouldn’t appear
sunlit.

This peachy-pink color also works well for sunlit areas of
snow. Where the snow is most directly sunlit, I’ll also use a very light-value
lemon-yellow on top of my peachy-pink.

Hopefully the silly memory of hearing “peachy pink” so
many times during my workshop will help students remember to carefully consider
how to approach those light-value warm areas of the landscape!
