Antique Gold
Retired1969–1972
Retired decades ago, but a fan favorite to this day - introducing Antique Gold. One of the final colors to be introduced before production stopped on Fiesta in 1972, it was only produced for three years by The Fiesta Tableware Company. A whimsical shade of yellow, Antique Gold brought a certain contrast and happiness to ever table it touched.
If you own Antique Gold, set the table with these
5 combinations, every one built only from colors Fiesta has actually produced. Each says which rule it follows, and which pieces you can still buy today.
Buy these to go with it
Antique Gold was retired in 1972, but these are all in production now -- the set you can actually finish buying.
Opposite on the wheel
Sapphire sits roughly opposite Antique Gold in hue, which is the highest-contrast pairing the palette offers. The neutrals keep it from shouting.
Three-way split
Sea Mist Green and Mulberry sit about a third of the way around the color wheel from Antique Gold in each direction. Evenly spaced hues stay lively without any one taking over.

Next-door hues
These sit within about 55° of Antique Gold on the color wheel. Neighbouring hues blend instead of competing, which suits a table you want to feel warm rather than graphic.
Anchored in neutrals
White and Black carry almost no hue of their own, so they give Antique Gold room to be the loud one.
