Morphology

peachy-colored = peachy + colored (transparent) = peach + color + y + ed

The compound combines 'peachy' (peach + -y) and 'colored' (color + -ed) to mean 'having the color of a peach', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Peachy-colored comes from peach, the fruit whose soft pink-orange skin gives the idea of this color, and the ending -y means 'like' while colored shows it is about color. So peachy-colored means having the pale pinkish-orange of a ripe peach.
