bridesmaids dress colors, is the dessy fresco color pinkish?

I will order a swatch but we are just wondering, does this color look pinkish to you or more orangish? One of our monitors is way off haha

color: Fresco

Also, what do you think of the dress? It is a church wedding so something mostly covering the shoulders is a must.

Update:

Perse, I did think of that. As much as I want them to be able to wear it again, there are very few that are appropriate for our church that any of my girls would wear again. That said, I will be paying for the dresses myself as I think it is unfair to make them pay for it.

  • It looks like a light matte coral or soft peach color. I suppose it could go to either side of the spectrum but I would be leaning more towards the orangish side.

    Its probably a hue of both colors together.

    I like the dress :)

  • It looks sort of peachy to me, so I guess more on the orange side than the pink side.

    The dress is pretty, but looks a little young. I don't know what theme/feeling you're going for for your wedding, so it's hard to say. It looks sort of like a sweet garden wedding with those dresses. I think it's the empire waist that does it. Personally, I like these dessy dresses better, either long or short:

    The Alfred Sung looks more modern and grown-up, and the Lela Rose is more sophisticated/vintage. It depends on the style of your wedding, though. And, unless you let your bridesmaids pick their own dresses, you aren't going to please everybody, so don't even try. Just shoot for not-heinous and you'll be good.

  • I'd call it more of an antique rose color. It's a dusky pink that's very neutral in color, which is why it can be interpreted as a warm color that has a bit of orange in it. I think it's a lovely color that will go nicely with most skin tones.

    And I love the style of dress. It's simple and classic. It's a very refined choice.

  • More pink than anything else...a sort of pearlescent coral.

    It's an okay dress. It won't flatter a lot of figures, the shiny fabric just grabs onto bulges and flaws. It's kind of matronly and not something that can be worn again.

    eta: so long as you're paying :)

  • Beautiful dress! Looks like a soft coral!

  • More of a shiny peach, but pretty, beautiful dress, so glad to see a dress not strapless, so tired of seeing "meat" hanging everywhere except in a "meat locker". Great choice.

  • I'd call it peach, leaning more towards pink.

    And the dress is adorable, I've seen bridesmaids forced to wear MUCH worse.
