Peach
Peach for boys? Yes, yes, but a peach colour which tends to coral, especially in bermuda shorts plaids or in the design details of a T-shirt (for example the guitar strings on the white polo shirt have a coral colour). Audacious boys will wear peach on plain T-shirts found in certain stores. You like this colour but are not sure he does? Ask him his opinion before going shopping; maybe he will too!

Girls will wear the complete peach shade range also found in ladies wear.

Lilac
Your boys will wear lilac very dark, almost purple, in swimsuits, T-shirts or in the details of tops.

For your girls, they will love the whole range of lilacs, from very pale to darker purples.
