Lapis is this year's new Fiestaware color and there is a lot of buzz about this color choice.
The new Lapis Fiesta adds another blue to the Fiesta dinnerware line-up. Currently there is Cobalt a rich dark blue, Peacock and bright bold sky like blue and Turquoise which is turquoise a blue-green.
Well the new Lapis comes in between Cobalt and Peacock, in some of the photos it almost has a denim look to it and in others more of a (as a user posted on Facebook) a Kentucky Blue.
Since pictures went online, several people have noted that they thought it is close to the Fiesta's Sapphire color and while I haven't seen them side by side, friends who went to the Chicago Home Show said that Sapphire has a red undertone. While both are blues, the new Lapis Fiesta comes across brighter than retired Sapphire, hopefully that makes sense.
The new Lapis Fiesta works well with so many of the current colors it is hard to pick a favorite color combination at this time, but we can say that Sunflower & Lapis, Scarlet, Lapis & White and various blue dinnerware table setting are going to look wonderful.
Pre-Order for Lapis Fiesta is slated to Start on May 10th
Shipping of select Lapis Fiestaware is set for June 10th.
