Raspberry
Retired1997–1997 · Color No. 4465
Introducing Raspberry, made by The Fiesta Tableware Company in December 1997. It's a rich and vibrant shade of red, reminiscent of ripe raspberries bursting with flavor. Raspberry adds a bold and energetic touch to any tablescape. Mix and match Raspberry with colors like White and Sunflower for a cheerful and festive table setting, or pair it with Slate and Plum for a sophisticated and elegant combination.

Opposite on the wheel
Evergreen sits roughly opposite Raspberry in hue, which is the highest-contrast pairing the palette offers. The neutrals keep it from shouting.
All red
Every color here is from the red family, arranged light to dark. A single-family table reads calm and deliberate rather than busy.
Three-way split
Medium Green and Twilight sit about a third of the way around the color wheel from Raspberry in each direction. Evenly spaced hues stay lively without any one taking over.
