color What are the genetics of peach colored peppers?

So I'm interested in flesh tone peppers in order to get a more obscene varient of peter pepper. Chocolate colored peppers are a simple combination of chlorophyll retention on a red base. Darker green immature peppers create darker browns. Peach colored peppers look like they have an orange base but I don't know if they have a gene that dilutes the color or if they retain chlorophyll like brown peppers do (since chocolate is recessive, if you can cross a peach and a chocolate to get a chocolate f1 then peach must also have the chocolate gene)

Ok, I have both a blot pepper and a saraga sweet chocolate pepper flowering. Blot has very pale immature fruit and ripens to orange while saraga sweet chocolate has normal green immature fruit and ripens to brown. If I cross them is it possible to get some peach colored fruit in the f2? (since I am trying to stack three to four different recessive genes the odds of seeing the combination that I aiming for in the f2 are between 1 in 64 to 1 in 256)
