Claret
Retired2016–2017 · Color No. 341
Introducing Claret, made by The Fiesta Tableware Company from 2016 to 2017. It's a rich and luxurious shade of red, reminiscent of the deep hue of claret wine. Claret adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any tablescape. Mix and match Claret with colors like Ivory and Lemongrass for a refined and romantic table setting, or pair it with Plum and Poppy for a more dramatic and festive combination.
If you own Claret, 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.

All red
Every color here is from the red family, arranged light to dark. A single-family table reads calm and deliberate rather than busy.
Three-way split
Forest Green and Sapphire sit about a third of the way around the color wheel from Claret in each direction. Evenly spaced hues stay lively without any one taking over.
