Tess in the Burbs Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 My plates/bowls are pale yellow and a pretty light blue. And I have a light green platter. I want more, but would get some brighter colors this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 We have a combination of peacock, lapis, plum, cobalt, and turquoise. I ordered by the piece so I could have just the size, shape and qty I wanted. We have: Java mugs fruit bowls Dinner plates luncheon plates medium bowls gusto bowls A few round platters that are just like large plates, and a platter with a dip bowl in it. if it will let me post this image.....this is the color combination we have (we don't have the silverware it was just an option I had to choose to make the colors look right) If you want to try out your own colors here is the linkhttp://colorama.fiestafactorydirect.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilma Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 FOr me, the fun of the Fiestaware is that you don't have to choose! I love all the colors (except black, white and cream, those I do not have or want). I enjoy seeing different combinations happen on the table or in the cupboard or even in the dishwasher! We have 12 sets, I think, and each one is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Turquoise Scarlet Lemongrass Tangerine Marigold (no longer in production; I weep) I just love the color names :D And I love my dishes! I smile every single time I open the cabinet :) (I had plain white dishes for more than 20 years!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethel Mertz Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 So far we have a place setting each in cobalt, lapis, and turquoise. I'm hoping to add some other colors when my birthday rolls around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I would like it when I ordered it (based on the name!) but it's kind of boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catz Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Right now we have golden, light blue, navy blue purple, orange but I'd love more colors! Not black, white, cream, or brown though. I like the brights! I have a couple green platters too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucyStoner Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Everyone has their own color. Older son: turquoise Younger son: peacock blue My husband: eggplant Me: shamrock My nephew: scarlet My niece: pink/flamingo aka pepto bismol. Ick. But I got her the one she liked without comment, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrookValley. Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Plum, lapis, tangerine, and lemongrass. I plan to eventually add peacock blue or turquoise and another I can't remember...the yellow, msybe? Sunflower? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngieC Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Turquoise, lemongrass and tangerine. I agree that the beauty of Fiestaware is that is doesn't have to match. I think if I were to buy a lot more pieces to add to the current collection that I would do totally new colors just for variety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readinmom Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 We combine colors, and even do some sports related combos! Peacock blue Scarlet Lemongrass Sunflower Dh is waiting for the Bronco combo to break out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Shamrock Lemongrass Red Paprika Plum Lapis Cobalt I like the bolder/vivid colors. The pale/summer colors (yellow, pink, that sort of thing) aren't my style so I don't get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RKWAcademy Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 White. Like pp, if I could do it over, I'd choose Cobalt Blue. So pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie4b Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 We had a full set of cobalt blue once upon a time. Over the years with tile floors and kids, we lost several pieces. I made a fabulous find at a thrift shop one day and got discontinued dinner plates in a seafoam green, light blue, and light yellow. We've also purchased 2 sets each of sunflower, the peacock, and turquoise. I wish they had a green that I liked, but all their greens have more yellow in them than I like. I enjoy the different colors, but want to build up our cobalt collection again so that for more formal dinners, we can have one color.

Evergreen State Sue Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I think we have 13 different colors: cobalt, lapis, peacock, turquoise, sunflower, marigold, tangerine, shamrock, lemongrass, plum, scarlet, paprika, and ivory. I thought I would like the ivory as a neutral, but it is so boring compared to the colors. I did get the ivory mug that has the Christmas tree on it so that adds some color. I love seeing the different color combinations on our table. When we have a lot of company, it's fun for people to pick their favorite color. I don't like pink, so I won't get the flamingo, and I probably won't get the black or white. My current favorite color of the bunch is lapis.

Forget-Me-Not Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I have scarlet, tangerine, lapis, peacock, sunflower and lemongrass. I think it's a cheerful mix. I was nervous about going with mixed colors, but I'm so happy with them every time I open my cabinets or dishwasher! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawthorne44 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I get only Cobalt. I really like blue. I like Fiestaware even though I really only like the one color because it never is discontinued and I can always add to it. I've gotten some nice large serving/mixing bowls off ebay. I limit the search to within driving distance and pickup instead of paying for shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom@shiloh Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I think that I have every color and I love them all. I just couldn't decide so we picked out all of them. One of my kids chose white and I'm a bit sorry about that. Oh, and I don't have flamingo, just not my favorite, but one of my friends has a huge mug in flamingo and every time I'm there she gives me that mug. :> It makes me very happy, especially in the middle of the winter when the colors are so cheery!

cjzimmer1 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I just have the cobalt blue. Before we got fiestaware we had a Pzatzgraff sett that DH had picked out before we were married. When they discontinued the color, I ended up picking up the same pattern in two other colors just to keep enough plates for all the kids but I hated the random assortment of color. It just never looks like it belongs together to me to have multiple colors in the same style. So when we finally decided to get a new dish set, I went with fiestaware just because I knew I could keep getting one color for a very long time and not have to worry about being stuck with mismatched stuff again.

MrsMommy Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I don't have Fiestaware yet. But when (I'm trying to stay positive!), we finally replace our old dishes with Fiestaware, every member of the family will get to choose whatever color they want. I'll probably get two settings of each...with seven family members, that will give us 14 total settings, which should be enough for when we have company. I can't wait to see what colors everybody picks. As for me, I'm partial to the lapis. It's so pretty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori D. Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 At least 18 colors here: My grandma gave me her set (1930s), which has 5 of the original colors: red (looks orange), yellow, blue (cobalt), turquoise (light blue), and ivory. And one original green plate. Still going strong! Over the years, DH has gifted me to add to our collections with different pieces, different colors: evergreen, plum, paprika, peacock, scarlet, tangerine, lapis, sunflower, shamrock, flamingo, cinnabar, rose... We mostly have 2 sizes of plates and 3 sizes of bowls, but also a number of serving pieces (platters, salad bowls, butter dish, utensil holder) and two water pitchers; one is in the original yellow and has such a charming shape! Also have a few of these very fun egg cup bowls in the original colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReader Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 One each of the current available colors (except black, white, & cream). I'd like to get the flamingo, which I don't have yet but is now retired, and then I'd like to get the new color each year. I may or may not add black or white at some point. We have several assorted serving things as well, all in different colors. I love love love the mix-match of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Peregrine Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 We have shamrock, sunflower, cobalt, scarlet, white, plum, lapis, turquoise, juniper or evergreen, tangerine, peacock, and lemongrass. Every person has their own color. The rest of the dishes are put away in case we need them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
