Isn't there momo iro or something?

[u/GohTheGreat → u/DistributionEasy5233]

That’s literally “peach (the fruit) colored” and has the nuance of being used in writing. You can use ___iro for most colors but Japanese people 9/10 just use a loan word.

If I say “hand me my jacket” would you respond “the grey one?” or “the mouse colored one?”
