Pearl Gray
Retired1999–2001 · Color No. 118
Introducing Pearl Gray, made by The Fiesta Tableware Company from 1999 to 2001. It's a subtle and sophisticated shade of gray with hints of pearl-like shimmer, reminiscent of soft moonlight on a cloudy night. Pearl Gray adds a touch of elegance and refinement to any tablescape. Mix and match Pearl Gray with colors like White and Turquoise for a classic and timeless table setting, or pair it with Plum and Slate for a contemporary and chic combination.

Buy these to go with it
Pearl Gray was retired in 2001, but these are all in production now -- the set you can actually finish buying.
A ground for bright colors
Pearl 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
Pearl Gray is close to neutral, so it works as the quiet ground under a louder color.
