pinkish-orange

Peachy with warmth

A color between pink and orange, leaning toward neither fully.

The term describes warm hues like salmon, coral, or certain sunset shades: The pinkish-orange glow spread across the horizon.

Either word can come first—pinkish-orange emphasizes the orange, while orangish-pink emphasizes the pink.
