We find that the best way to beat the winter blues is by embracing them, along with the rest of the colors of the rainbow. We're hot for vibrant tabletop pieces--from a single vivid item as an accent to an entire color wheel's worth of tones at once. Our advice: Start with touches of color on your own table, and if you're giving tableware as a present, sneak a peek in the giftee's cabinet so you'll know how to complement what's already there.
