Introducing Turquoise, made by The Fiesta Tableware Company from 1988 to current production. It's a refreshing and vibrant shade of blue-green, reminiscent of tropical waters and summer skies. Turquoise adds a pop of color and a sense of tranquility to any tablescape. Mix and match Turquoise with colors like White and Sunflower for a fresh and summery table setting, or pair it with Scarlet and Shamrock for a lively and festive combination.
If you own Turquoise, set the table with these
5 combinations, every one built only from colors Fiesta has actually produced. Each says which rule it follows, and which pieces you can still buy today.

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