Peach: Pink (dress, lips and earrings), apricot (skin and crown), brown (hair and outline), white (eyes)

Each character sprite set features only four colors in the original NES game. (Oddly enough, Toad's sprites only use three colors.)

But the 4th color is almost always used as transparency (except for level tiles, or if you're supposed to play as a rectangle). Toad's is the only sprite that make sense.
