FIESTA COLORS

From 1936 to 1972,Fiesta was produced in 14 colors(other than special promotions). These colors are usually divided into the "original colors" of cobalt blue,light green,ivory,red,turquoise,and yellow(cobalt blue,light green,red,and yellow only on the Kitchen Kraft line,introduced in 1939); the "1950s colors" of chartreuse,forest green,gray,and rose(introduced in 1951); medium green(introduced in 1959); plus the later additions of Casuals, Amberstone, Fiesta Ironstone,and Lustre pieces. No Fiesta was produced from 1973 to 1985. The colors that make up the the "original" and "1950s" groups are sometimes referred to as "the standard 11." In many pieces, medium green is the hardest to find and most expensive Fiesta color.
