I've got my interior and accessories in basic colors, but I bought these plates because I thought the refreshing turquoise blue was too cute. (I was really torn between going for the safe option of white.) I made a simple meal of bread, salad, eggs and pasta. It looks very stylish no matter what you put on it, and it's cute. The turquoise blue, which is not a food color, goes well with the colors of the food, making the meal more colorful and enjoyable. And it's so light! It's easy to handle, which is a big help. I'd like to have a pink plate that goes with this color. (I wonder if the color called “Rose” is a color that was previously sold? I'm disappointed that it's not available at nearby stores.)
