This has been an ongoing problem with the TT line since the beginning. The color variations are billed as "unique" and "artisan", but in reality, it's just sloppy work. I see this problem in Old World more than the other lines, and it frustrates me as well. I notice it mostly with my blue and brown items. I prefer a darker tone, and a darker wash as well. Sometimes when you set the table, the difference is really striking, and makes it appear you bought seconds.

i have the same problem with my cobalt pieces. I just got a new piece the utensil holder and it is nothing like my original cobalt pieces. I guess I can't buy anymore temptations in the old world pattern as it is so different as to clash.

Yep...many people have complained about that. When she was on the other night with the 24 piece oven to table set, she started off w/the cobalt in the floral lace. She straight up mentioned the difference between the two bowls that were nested together. One was clearly lighter than the other. So being that she did that on air, it tells me that she doesn't plan on doing a thing about the colors being "off." I guess the majority of people don't mind bc they keep snapping up those sets like hotcakes.
I've had an issue w/the polka-dots. I had a lid-it split in 1/2 in the oven. When I got the replacement, I compared it to the broken one and it was very different. The replacement did not match the 9x13 @ all. It was light...almost creamy white color. My 9x13 is more of a darker beige. You didn't have to look hard to see the colors were "off." I haven't bought another polka-dot item since.

Yes, I also recently bought the utensil holder and it is about a shade lighter than my other Old World Blue items. On one side the paint is also smeared more. I wouldn't mind if it was consistent all the way around. I only decided to just keep it because I am having trouble with UPS not leaving packages when I am not at home and I had to drive about 35 minutes just to pick it up. I am just going to keep it on the counter away from the other pieces and with the bad side to the wall! If I wasn't having trouble with UPS and it was a larger piece I think I would send it back.
I also ordered one in confetti for a friend and the colors do not look as vibrant as I remember but I have no other pieces to compare it to. I love all of my Temptations but I am disappointed that the color is not consistent.

Lilac wasn't consistent at all either. Original were pretty and those purchased later were more pink. Pink would be nice, but I wanted all pieces to be close to a match. Maybe that is why Tara seldom presents Lilac any more.
