Flamingo
Retired2012–2013 · Color No. 335
Introducing Flamingo, made by The Fiesta Tableware Company from 2012 to 2013. It's a vibrant and playful shade of red, reminiscent of the bright plumage of flamingo birds. Flamingo adds a bold and energetic touch to any tablescape. Mix and match Flamingo with colors like Ivory and Lemongrass for a fun and whimsical table setting, or pair it with Plum and Slate for a more sophisticated and dramatic combination.

Flamingo was retired in 2013, but these are all in production now -- the set you can actually finish buying.
Opposite on the wheel
Turquoise sits roughly opposite Flamingo in hue, which is the highest-contrast pairing the palette offers. The neutrals keep it from shouting.
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
Medium Green and Lavender sit about a third of the way around the color wheel from Flamingo in each direction. Evenly spaced hues stay lively without any one taking over.
