Several reasons.

Lowest cost colors. Longest lasting colors. Very visible under most conditions. Other colors would more likeyl confuse or not been seen by people who are color blind. While they may not see the difference between white and yellow, at least they don't blend into the road surface as red, blue or green definitely would.

White and yellow paints are universal throughout the entire United States highway system. Yellow is always used to signify caution,(ie) broken yellow means passing zone using caution, white is used to designate the farthest to the right you may safely drive, it's also known as the"fog" line.

How do you turn peach into red?

Peach coloured paint or dye is a mix of yellow plus a spot of red and some white. You cannot remove the yellow and the white from the paint and leave red colour only. You could add more red to make the peach colour deeper. Red is called a primary colour because you can't mix other colours together to make it. So if you want true red then you need to start with red with nothing else mixed in. Yellow and blue are also primary colours.
