Method One: Lemon Yellow, Cadmium Red, and White

To begin, take lemon yellow, cadmium red, and white. Instead of mixing everything together at once, start by adding a touch of red to white. This allows for better control over the mixed color. Thoroughly blend these two colors until you achieve a pastel shade. Then, gradually add yellow to the mixture, creating the desired peach color. This method provides a range of light and dark peach shades.
