Green (Light)
Retired1936–1951
Introduced at the annual Pottery and Glass Exhibit in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in January 1936 - meet Light Green. One of the original colors of Fiesta drawn up by Frederick Hurten Rhead himself - Light Green is one of four shades produced during the original run, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a fan favorite!

Green (Light) was retired in 1951, but these are all in production now -- the set you can actually finish buying.
Opposite on the wheel
Heather sits roughly opposite Green (Light) in hue, which is the highest-contrast pairing the palette offers. The neutrals keep it from shouting.
All green
Every color here is from the green family, arranged light to dark. A single-family table reads calm and deliberate rather than busy.
