Perhaps I should decide on a 4th color sooner rather than later :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-fiestaware-or-similar-color-combinations#post-2533517 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 12:11:06 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2533517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MediaNaranja: Dang thats a good deal! My friend said she was able to get 4 sets for $100 from there. Thats not a terrible price for good dishes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-fiestaware-or-similar-color-combinations#post-2533513 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 12:07:24 +0000 JenGirl 2533513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have Scarlet, Tangerine and Lapis. If we get more we'll probably go for Lemongrass. I love a mix of colors!</p> <p>My advice is to pick popular colors. If you go for the brand new or rare colors, it's hard to find and you end up paying more because you have to buy everything full price. If you go with common colors (like Scarlet) you can often find things discounted or used. For instance, I liked Marigold better than Tangerine, but in stores you always find Tangerine and rarely find Marigold, so that's what we went with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-fiestaware-or-similar-color-combinations#post-2533490 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 11:39:47 +0000 MediaNaranja 2533490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>PS-Macys has a BOGO on Fiestaware + 25% off using the code FRIEND, which makes a 4-piece place setting $22!!</p> <p>ETA-Plus 6% cash back w/ Ebates!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-fiestaware-or-similar-color-combinations#post-2533488 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 11:34:49 +0000 MediaNaranja 2533488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now we have Scarlet, Turquoise, and Sunflower. Trying to decide on a 4th color...I'm thinking either Lemongrass or Shamrock!! I also love Peacock but it is probably too close to the turquoise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-fiestaware-or-similar-color-combinations#post-2533461 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 11:02:58 +0000 jh524 2533461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hb3233: I disagree with that. I think the lighter colors show scratches much quicker than darker colors. I've had my set for 6 years and they still look new ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-fiestaware-or-similar-color-combinations#post-2533457 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 10:57:01 +0000 MaryM 2533457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have these vintage pyrex dishes in turquoise and pink <a href="http://www.laurelleaffarm.com/item-photos/vintage-Pyrex-plates-aqua-flamingo-pink-colored-band-milk-glass-plates-Laurel-Leaf-Farm-item-no-u62132t.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.laurelleaffarm.com/item-photos/vintage-Pyrex-plates-aqua-flamingo-pink-colored-band-milk-glass-plates-Laurel-Leaf-Farm-item-no-u62132t.jpg</a></p> <p>But I don't have many serving pieces, so I've been getting them in fiesta (the flamingo and turqoise area really close). And I have a few things in yellow and blue that I picked up before I had my dishes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-fiestaware-or-similar-color-combinations#post-2533308 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 08:01:21 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2533308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennibenni: Yes! My mom has a rainbow (primary colors) and the blue and purple plates show water and scratches the most. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-fiestaware-or-similar-color-combinations#post-2533302 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 07:35:25 +0000 PurplePumps 2533302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have a set of coffee mugs (that I totally didn't need, but just HAD to have once I saw the colors). Plum, cobalt, slate, sage, turquoise, and poppy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-fiestaware-or-similar-color-combinations#post-2533285 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 06:58:11 +0000 hb3233 2533285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone, these are awesome color combos! I'm super excited to finally have a coherent set of dishes. </p> <p>@Jennibenni: Hadn't thought about dark colors showing imperfections more, will definitely keep this in mind </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-fiestaware-or-similar-color-combinations#post-2533274 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 04:32:22 +0000 jh524 2533274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Red &amp; turquoise. Love my fiestaware!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-fiestaware-or-similar-color-combinations#post-2533225 Sun, 24 Apr 2016 21:17:21 +0000 Jennibenni 2533225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have Cobalt but I still love them 7 years in and they've held up great! Something to keep in mind with the darker colors is they show more imperfections. Where we live now our water supply is very mineral-y and leaves residue on EVERYTHING. So the dark dishes tend to get waterspots. Wasn't a problem at our old house though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-fiestaware-or-similar-color-combinations#post-2533216 Sun, 24 Apr 2016 21:01:08 +0000 Keybee 2533216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have flamingo, turquoise, and cobalt.

(I also have some of the really dark purple, but we don't usually keep those out. Safe to say I have a problem. Haha!)</p> <p>We love them SO much. They're pretty close to indestructible and hold up great. We love our color combo, too. I stayed away from the yellows/oranges/reds just because I'm more of a jewel-tone girl, but I have friends who have those and love them as well. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-fiestaware-or-similar-color-combinations#post-2533096 Sun, 24 Apr 2016 14:40:32 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2533096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have all clover (grass green color) and paired it with a set of patterned salad plates that I loved that are not Fiesta-ware. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-fiestaware-or-similar-color-combinations#post-2533087 Sun, 24 Apr 2016 14:05:20 +0000 hb3233 2533087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few threads here about how great fiestaware is have inspired me to replace our mish-mash collection - mostly stuff left behind by long departed roommates and freebie coffee mugs - with a proper set of dish ware. But, there are so many color options...what awesome color combinations do you have, or have you seen others use? Thank you! </p>
