A little while back, I mentioned that Ivory was a new color in Fiesta Ware this year. I also hinted in the post on the new Fiesta Christmas dishes that chocolate would also be making a debut. The new chocolate color starts to ship this month. Look for it available in retail outlets and websites in the coming days. When I first mentioned it, I did not have a photo, which wasn’t fair to mention it and not show it, but now that more information is readily available, I have one.
In the past few years in home decor, a chocolate brown and turquoise color scheme has popped up here and there, so I can’t help but think that this is meant to not only mix with neutral ivory but to be used with the stalwart of the Homer Laughlin Fiesta family, turquoise. Maybe it is not shown as a “serving suggestion” so to speak, but I am sure some will do it. Maybe the cutting edge designers are moving on to another color palette, but there is a trickle down for accessories. Typically, someone keeps a sofa or an area rug for a number of years and so the colors usually stick around in accessories and low to midrange furniture over the next few years of a color palette being introduced.
