For DD's birthday, she would like fiestaware. I'm so excited. She has nothing so far. She likes all colors except black, white and red. Especially likes blues and greens. I am sending her 4 place settings for her birthday. Definitely Lemongrass, but keep changing my mind on the other colors. 3 different blues? 2 blues and shamrock? Please help me pick the colors. TIA.

Lemongrass with Lapis, Turquoise, and Peacock.
Lemongrass with Lapis, Cobalt, and Peacock.
Lemongrass with Lapis, Shamrock, and Peacock.
At the moment, my favorite combo (out of the 10 colors I own) is Lapis, Shamrock, Ivory, and Flamingo. Flamingo is my newest color and I am crazy about it, even though I am so not a pink person. Unfortunately, it was discontinued this year.

I have lemongrass, turquoise, plum and black so of course they're my favorites. If I had to choose a color instead of black to go with the other three it'd be an orange.

I would pick two colors that go with the colors in her kitchen/dining area and get her two sets of each. Then you could add to them on holidays/ birthdays etc. I like having a neutral like ivory and then color to mix with it.

Oh boy, I knew this would be hard. DD & SIL just gutted their kitchen and remodeling is finishing this week. White cabinets - 2 with glass fronts, gray/white granite, stainless. I think I like lemongrass, lapis and turquoise best but can't decide between colbalt or plum. SIL would probably prefer colbalt. But it isn't his birthday!
We are quite proud of DD & SIL and spoil both of them. They worked hard in college and have great careers. Now that they moved out of state, they won't be as spoiled as normal. DD asked for one place setting or 2 plates. Truly that is all she expects, so I'm excited to get this for her.

Shoot I don't think that one was out very long. Have fun mamma.. I think a bunch of blues would be pretty... |

I had heard that Flamingo was discontinued too, but it is in stock at every place that I have been that carries Fiestaware. I bought an extra set because I was afraid that it would be gone when I went back. That was a few months ago. |

Thanks for all the great suggestions and comments. I went with Lemongrass, Turquoise, Colbalt and Lapis. I was going to get plum instead of Colbalt, but I ended up ordering a fruit bowl in each color too. Of course - no plum for that. Ordered at Macy's - buy 1 place setting, get 1 free plus 15% off. Needed a few to spend a little more so I ordered the fruit bowls too. Great deal and DD will love them. Thanks again for taking the time to help.  |

I have over a dozen colors and I just wanted to point out that Cobalt is the only one that has scratches : (
Just my opinion but I also think food looks less appetizing on the darker color.
I do love the Peacock and the Turquoise : )

You can remove them with the magical Barkeeper's Friend and a little elbow grease. (I've mentioned this product on so many threads, you'd think I'd start getting a little somethin'-somethin' from them.  There's another brand, but that memory synapse isn't firing. Anybody???  ) |

With Lemongrass, I would suggest peacock, turquoise, and shamrock. I also love lemongrass and flamingo together!

Here is a website that lets you play with the different colors. It is fun to try the different colors together. (The website is from the manufacturer of Fiestaware) |

Like I said in an earlier thread, mine are all the same color (zzzzzzzzz) so I have nothing helpful to add other than to say "awesome gift!"

I don't have much Fiestaware (Platzgraff dishes from 20 years ago are mostly still holding up). I did get some Gusto bowls recently though in Lapis and love the color. My mom got me some smaller bowls at thrift shops in the lighter blue which I don't care for as much. I also got some red pieces from her thriftshop finds.
