I'm pretty sure the peach part has to be the second half of the name to fit their naming convention. There are a couple of inks where the "colour" is first - mustard seed and black soot spring to mind, but yes, the general naming convention is descriptor-colour. Like you, though, I will always think of this colour as Shimelle peach. Off to check out the live so I can see what all the swatches look like. oh true. I guess it could be peachy keen then! |

I've just caught up with Tim's video and I really like this colour. I have abandoned coral but almost never reach for it as I generally prefer the softer shades so I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy this one. I've added it to my sb.com cart for when I've finished my freeze.

It certainly looks a lot closer than all the random orangey colors that she's been fobbed off with! I saw another completely unrelated product named saltwater taffy that was described as a pearlescent pale pink. (I don't know what color saltwater taffy is). This looks peachy pink to me, but who knows, given the differences between screens. I guess we'll know tomorrow. It is pretty peachy. How odd that it is named Saltwater Taffy though. Saltwater Taffy comes in about a bazillion flavors and colors. I bet you guys can come up with way better names then that. Hell, peachy keen would be a better name then that. My thought exactly I come from the land of saltwater taffy and there are almost as many colors as you can think of. |

I was hoping for a yellow Did you catch the part of the live where he explained why yellow will never be the correct answer? I think it was about 2/3rds of the way through (? I jumped around) I didn’t watch it. Is there a quick explanation as to why it’ll never be yellow? For those of us nosy enough to want to know but not motivated enough to watch the video? I’m not sure I like the color but it sounds like it fills a huge void and a lot of people wanted it. Yay for listening to consumer feedback. |

Crazy, I ordered from scrapbook.com about 12:30 on Saturday and it’s here already. They’re in Arizona and I’m in northern Virginia. I’ve been agitating for peach for at least 100 years. It’s easy to blend but great that it’s here. ComplicatedLady Tim talked about and showed the five yellows swatches, from clear (squeezed lemonade) to toned down to a bit orangey. Basically he said that’s all that’s needed, and showed the small yellow section in Pantone’s fan book. I’ll find where it is on the video and post it if someone else doesn’t. I was thinking the same thing before his explanation, though wouldn’t have minded a light buttery yellow. I mix in white or stamp off. ETA Yellow explanation/demo starts just after 1:25 - 1 hour, 25 minutes. I like the name - grew up with salt water taffy at the beach and the peachy color was one I didn’t like so it stood out. I liked the white and brown taffy best. |

ETA Yellow explanation/demo starts just after 1:25 - 1 hour, 25 minutes. Yes, that's basically it. He showed specifically how each yellow swatch had interacted with water to draw out all kinds of different tones and shades to pretty much cover all your yellow needs. It did kind of make sense, and he described which ink he would reach for to get different kinds of yellow. On the other hand not everyone uses his inks with water to do mixed media types of things, which means we don't have access to those colors that wick out when you spray them. And what that says to me is that some of us are looking to distress/oxides when maybe they're not what we really need/want - maybe we should be looking for the colors we want in other types of inks. I have realized that distress might not be my thing at all and I can get other inks that are water reactive and/or easily blendable that work better with my style. BTW he also encouraged people to blend two colors together to get exactly what they want, just like Shimelle and Heidi did to get their peach. |

My space is at a premium, so I'm always looking for ways to diy it w/new colors. I've noticed a lot of the new colors look like stamp-offs of the older colors - like I have abandoned coral and the new color looks like a stamp-off of it or a blend of it and white.
But I'm happy lots of people wanted this color and they got it. |

I like the new color too! It goes with a lot of other colors and will be a welcome addition to my Distress Collection! The paint and glaze are really nice too! I'm happy! |

I own one distress oxide. I don’t know much about what makes it special, and to be honest, I don’t really care. But can someone tell me if I can try blending using a distress oxide with a non-oxide ink? Like a SC dye ink or Catherine Pooler ink pad?

CP inks blend well and are water reactive like distress, and I think I've used it with oxide inks in a blend. The CP or dye inks will be more translucent, the oxide ink will have a chalky opaque finish, but definitely try it out and see if it works for the look you're going for. Nothing bad will happen but it might not look the way you want. |

Thanks for the reassurance that nothing bad will happen! 😂 I didn’t want to waste inks if there was some sort of bad chemical reaction possible I didn’t know about. 👩🏻🔬 |
