I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'headgear in unusual shade' is the definition.
'chapeau' can be an answer for 'headgear' (chapeau is a kind of headgear). I am not sure about the 'in unusual shade' bit.

'of peach and gold' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates anagramming the letters (the answer comes from or 'of' the letters).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'gold' becomes 'Au' (Au is the chemical symbol for gold).
'peach' is an anagram of 'chape'.
'chape'+'au'='CHAPEAU'
