Introducing Yellow, made by The Fiesta Tableware Company from 1987 to 2002. It's a sunny and cheerful hue that brightens up any tablescape with its warmth and vibrancy. Yellow evokes feelings of happiness and positivity, making it perfect for both casual gatherings and special occasions. Mix and match Yellow with colors like Cobalt and Shamrock for a vibrant and energetic table setting, or pair it with Scarlet and Paprika for a bold and fiery combination.

Buy these to go with it
Yellow was retired in 2002, but these are all in production now -- the set you can actually finish buying.
Opposite on the wheel
Sapphire sits roughly opposite Yellow in hue, which is the highest-contrast pairing the palette offers. The neutrals keep it from shouting.
Three-way split
Evergreen and Mulberry sit about a third of the way around the color wheel from Yellow in each direction. Evenly spaced hues stay lively without any one taking over.
Next-door hues
These sit within about 55° of Yellow on the color wheel. Neighbouring hues blend instead of competing, which suits a table you want to feel warm rather than graphic.
