What color is your roof? Or do you have any other accent colors on the house? A nice warm stained door would look pretty if you have warmer accents.
Depends on whether you want to introduce more color or stay neutral. As the previous person said, a warm stain would be pretty. I, however, am a lover of color! Because peach is a mixture of yellow and pink I would go with a color that is complementary (across the color wheel) from peach. The complement of red or pink is a shade of green. The complement of yellow is purple. Depending whether your peach leans more toward yellow or pink I would choose one of those. Some peach colors are more orange. With that kind of hue I would go with a blue door. Turquoise would be lovely. If you post a picture of the house it would help. Have fun!
compliments are: dark teal, brown or a dark purple :)
a rich emerald or teal would be a 'safe' choice, especially if there are trees around the house
a super saturated magenta would be more daring.
a blue (either a light but full sky blue, or a deep persian blue) if the landscape is more open, or sandy.
a gold or copper would be more subtle, but exciting.
