Retired1989–2006 · Color No. 108
Introducing Periwinkle Blue, made by The Fiesta Tableware Company from 1989 to 2006. It's a charming and delicate shade of blue with hints of purple, reminiscent of blooming periwinkle flowers. Periwinkle Blue adds a touch of whimsy and sophistication to any tablescape. Mix and match Periwinkle Blue with colors like White and Ivory for a soft and romantic table setting, or pair it with Paprika and Sage for a cozy and inviting combination.
