Default What do you use for peach glass?

I'm increasingly finding myself in need of both peach transparent and opaque soft glass. I'm looking for a "cool peach" not a warm, brownish peach.

What do you use for peach?

At this point I'll work with anything but boro (well, heck.. if someone told me what to get I might even try that).

Czech (I know they have a transparent and a shapmpoo)?
Satake?
Effetre (sometime transp pink comes out peachy to me)?
Lauscha?
Uroboros/96?
ASK?
Other?

Thanks.

Arancio Perfecto (Effetre) is peach if you don't strike it too much.

I got a set from Jelvah with a lot of peach in it. She said she uses coral.

I use Moretti transparent pink (068 ) for peach cuz it sure isn't pink. Gail at GG Glass has a lovely 96 COE color that's also a terrific peach color. It's her new Apricot Opaque.

You can kick up either with a little apricot or salmon frit from Gail; Sunshine Glow or Tangerine from Spiral Dance; or Georgia Peach from Val Cox (love this one and she has it available now).

In addition to the above:

Lauscha has a wonderful pale peach transparant that looks great etched.

Bullseye coral tint is a good peach too. Although a bit on the apricot side.

Mix a little white in with Effetre coral for a great peachy color.

I mix my own opaque... I'll go hunt down the thread that I shared my recipe in.

Here you go... the pictures were taken outside on a very breezy day, so the sunlight was erratic.

Those who restrain desire do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained.

That's a great tip! I'll have to give it a try.

I mix my own opaque swirly peach by using two parts coral (any of them) and white. Depending on which coral you use you might get one that has a warmer tone than the other. The pinker the coral, the cooler you'll get.

These tips are great! I never thought of using yellow in my mix and you got the softest peach tones! Nicer than what I got with my mix
