Sunflower
Retired2001–2026 · Color No. 320
Introducing Sunflower, made by The Fiesta Tableware Company from 2001 to 2026. It's a cheerful and vibrant shade of yellow, reminiscent of bright sunflowers swaying in the summer breeze. Sunflower adds a burst of energy and warmth to any tablescape. Mix and match Sunflower with colors like Cobalt and Shamrock for a lively and dynamic table setting, or pair it with Plum and Slate for a more subdued yet sophisticated combination.

Opposite on the wheel
Sapphire sits roughly opposite Sunflower in hue, which is the highest-contrast pairing the palette offers. The neutrals keep it from shouting.
Three-way split
