Gray
Retired1951–1959
Produced between 1951 and 1959, Fiesta Gray offers versatile design opportunities. Its neutral yet sophisticated shade serves as a foundation for various tablescapes. Pair Gray with vibrant hues like deep red or royal blue for a striking contrast, or create an elegant monochromatic theme by combining it with different shades of gray and silver.
If you own Gray, set the table with these
4 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
Gray was retired in 1959, but these are all in production now -- the set you can actually finish buying.
A ground for bright colors
Gray carries almost no hue of its own, which makes it the ground the rest of the table sits on. These are the boldest colors in the palette, spread right around the wheel -- the mix-and-match look Fiesta was designed for.
Anchored in neutrals
Gray is close to neutral, so it works as the quiet ground under a louder color.

Nothing but neutrals
Every color here is a white, grey or black, stepped from lightest to darkest. No hue anywhere, so the shapes and the food do the work.
