What a peach screen is for
Peach is a very pale warm orange. As a screen light it approximates late afternoon sun, which is flattering on camera and far kinder than a bare white panel at full brightness.
A pale warm colour, close to skin
Peach is a very light orange with the saturation pulled well down: all three channels high, red highest, blue lowest. It sits close to the range of light human skin tones, which is why it reads as soft and organic rather than synthetic, and why it was for a long time the colour a crayon labelled flesh actually was, a naming convention that was eventually and rightly abandoned.
Where it differs from its neighbours
Peach, coral and salmon occupy overlapping territory and are genuinely difficult to separate by name. Peach is the lightest and least saturated of the three, coral the most orange, and salmon sits between them with more pink. These are real differences that are obvious side by side and unreliable in description, which is worth saying plainly rather than implying each is dramatically distinct.
As a light background
Being light and desaturated, peach behaves much like a warm off-white with more colour in it. Dark text meets contrast requirements on it comfortably and white text does not come close. It is easy to leave on screen for long periods, since neither its brightness nor its saturation is demanding, and for a wallpaper it does the job of a plain warm background while looking less austere than beige.

Peach color values
The exact values for this shade, if you need to match it somewhere else.
| Hex | #FFE5B4 |
|---|---|
| RGB | 255, 229, 180 |
| HSL | 39°, 100%, 85% |
| CMYK | 0%, 10%, 29%, 0% |
| Contrast on white | 1.23:1 |
| Contrast on black | 17.12:1 |
Contrast ratios follow the WCAG formula. Anything at or above 4.5:1 is readable as body text against that background, and 3:1 is the floor for large headings. Peach reaches that bar on black.

Questions
Does this work on a phone?
Yes. On mobile the page fills the screen when you tap the panel. Some browsers keep a thin status bar visible, which is a browser limit rather than something the page controls.
Will a peach screen fix a stuck pixel?
Sometimes. A stuck pixel is lit in one color and can occasionally be freed by cycling colors rapidly for a few minutes. A dead pixel receives no power at all and cannot be recovered in software.
What is the hex code for this peach screen?
This page uses #FFE5B4. The same value is shown in RGB, HSL and CMYK further down, so you can match this exact shade somewhere else.
Does a peach screen save battery?
No, and on an OLED or AMOLED screen a light color costs more power than a dark one, because every pixel has to be lit. If battery life is the goal, use the black screen instead.
Can I download this peach as a wallpaper?
Yes. There is a ready-made 1920 by 1080 PNG on this page, and the panel above will generate the same color at your own screen size, at 1440p or 4K, or at phone dimensions. No watermark and no sign-up.
Is it free?
Yes, and there is no sign-up. The page draws a color; that is the whole tool.
