Peach with acid dyes

Hello,
I would like to dye some silk gauze peach using the Jacquard acid dyes, more of an orangey peach than a pinky peach. But they do not have a "peach" acid dye (only the Procion MX). Any input as to what colors I could combine to get what I want?
thanks!

Peach is generally a clear yellow plus pink; pink is a dilute red. Or you could use a dilute mixture of a bright red and a bright orange.

Among their acid dyes, Jacquard recommends 624 Turquoise, 617 Cherry Red, and 601 Yellow Sun as primaries for mixing warm colors. (They recommend their 623 Brilliant Blue, 618 Fire Red, and 601 Yellow Sun for mixing cool colors.)

Thanks for the quick response! So it sounds like I should start with the Yellow Sun and add pink (made from cherry red) until I get what I want. Will give it a go!
