Colour is all around us and, whether we realise it or not, it evokes our emotions and plays a big role in our everyday lives. For example orange communicates warmth, cheerfulness and optimism. Whereas pastels are delicate colours that are considered to be calm and soothing. So I wonder what emotion the new pastel-orange Peekaboo Peach conveys to you? Here's my reflections on Peekaboo Peach...

Peekaboo Peach is a soft yellow-orange that is a welcome addition to our colour collection. More yellow, but less saturated, than Pumpkin Pie and Tangerine Tango, this pretty pastel is bright and sweet.
