Chartreuse
Retired1997–1999 · Color No. 117
Introducing Chartreuse, made by The Fiesta Tableware Company from 1997 to 1999. It's a vibrant and refreshing shade of green with yellow undertones, reminiscent of the citrusy hue of chartreuse liqueur. Chartreuse adds a pop of color and a sense of zest to any tablescape. Mix and match Chartreuse with colors like White and Turquoise for a lively and summery table setting, or pair it with Plum and Slate for a sophisticated and modern combination.
