What Colors Coordinate With Peach in a Wedding Bouquet?
Color theory is a way of estimating the effects of certain color schemes, and is used heavily by graphic designers, painters and other artists. Color theory can be used to find coordinating colors for any color and occasion, including peach in a wedding bouquet. You can use several different methods to find matching colors, each yielding slightly different results.

Analogous
-
The most simple type of color scheme is the analogous color scheme. This color scheme uses neighboring colors on the color wheel, creating a calm and serene color palette. Because peach is a warm color -- colors consisting mainly of red and yellow -- analogous colors will be mainly warm colors. Colors that match many shades of peach include light orange, reds, maroons and yellows.
Triadic
-
Other types of color schemes use opposing colors on the color wheel. Triadic color schemes use three different colors, all of equal distance from each other on the color wheel. Depending on the shade of peach used in the wedding bouquet, the Triadic colors should be shades of yellow or yellow-green and blue.
-
Split-Complementary
-
Another method to find color palettes is known as the split-complimentary color scheme, which connects one color with the colors on either side of the color opposite it. Depending on the shade of peach, using this color scheme will result in colors between indigo and blue, and light blue and blue-green.
Other Schemes
-
Two other ways of finding matching colors include the square and rectangle color schemes. These select two pairs of opposing colors on the color wheel, evenly spaced and unevenly spaced respectively. Once the main coordinating colors are chosen by using a color scheme, it is important to integrate lighter and muted colors so the main colors are not overwhelming. More neutral colors like cream, off-white, grey and light tan are all colors that compliment peach well.
