Newly bleached hair, grey or peachy colour? Can't decide

I decided I was going to dye my hair grey yesterday, put it on over my natural light red (with lots of grey) thinking it would take and it didn't so I have bleached my hair with the intention of doing the grey however it ha come out a really nice peachy colour after toning. I'm quite liking the peachy colour and it seems to suit me.

I shaved my head earlier in the year and am going to the hairdressers for the first time in ages today to get a choppy pixie cut now it's grown out.
So do I go with the original plan of grey or change the plan and get something like the bleach London awkward peach?

The other problem is I have to have sensible colours for work (nurse) but I think the peach would be subtle enough to get away with.

Peach sounds nicer than grey, but this is coming from someone who spends a fortune covering her Grey's GrinXmas Wink. Pixie cut sounds fab!

I've never had peach but loved having grey. I got it done at the hairdresser's and it was a nice 'dove grey'. Unless you use a regular toner it doesn't hold well. However I didn't mind that because after washing with purple shampoo (really recommend Fudge purple shampoo and conditioner) it went a really lovely pastel lilac.

The peach sounds lovely !

I have the peach and I love it.

@Nonamesavail is it as subtle as it looks? Do you use the shampoo and conditioner as well?

I've used the peach and it was nice but quite strong ( I have level 8 bleached hair, for ref). You can use pastelisers to calm down colours a bit - alternatively Revolution do wash in/out colours in black tubs and I've used lots of them over the last few months and they've all given a nice subtle wash of colour. Bigger superdrugs stock them
