Morphology

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

Formed from 'peach' + 'color' with the adjectival suffix '-ed'; the meaning (having the colour of a peach) is directly predictable from the parts.

Etymology

The word peach-colored comes from the fruit peach and the ending -colored, and it means 'the pale pink-orange color of a ripe peach', so calling something peach-colored is saying it has that soft, warm color.
