Marigold
Retired2008–2012 · Color No. 333
Introducing Marigold, made by The Fiesta Tableware Company from 2008 to 2012. It's a vibrant and sunny shade of yellow, reminiscent of the cheerful blooms of marigold flowers. Marigold adds a burst of energy and warmth to any tablescape. Mix and match Marigold with colors like Ivory and Lemongrass for a bright and summery table setting, or pair it with Plum and Slate for a more sophisticated and autumnal combination.
If you own Marigold, set the table with these

Opposite on the wheel
Sapphire sits roughly opposite Marigold in hue, which is the highest-contrast pairing the palette offers. The neutrals keep it from shouting.
Three-way split
Sea Mist Green and Mulberry sit about a third of the way around the color wheel from Marigold in each direction. Evenly spaced hues stay lively without any one taking over.
