Peach (color)

]]

The first written use of *peach* as a color name in English was in 1588.

## Where the word *peach* came from
The word *peach* comes from the Middle English *peche*, from Middle French, in turn from Latin *persica*, i.e., *the fruit from Persia*. In fact, the origin of the peach fruit was from China.

## Meaning of peach
* The color peach represents immortality in Chinese civilization because *the peach tree of immortality*, long thought to be on a mountainside somewhere in the Tian Shan mountains in western China, is a key concept in the mythology of the Taoist religion.  (The color amaranth represents immortality in Western civilization.)

* In Art Deco design of the 1920s and 1930s, peach-colored mirrors (as well as blue mirrors) were often seen installed in exclusive luxury homes, and upper-class nightclubs and hotels.
