This set is really pretty! I bought the gray, and the color looks less blue than it does in the pictures, which I actually like better as it is more neutral. The light blue tone on the outside is subtle, and the inside flower design is gray, although the flower design on the plates are darker than the other pieces and are more of a dark gray. The set is beautiful and the pieces are all useful, although they are a bit heavy. The cup is big enough to hold a regular cup of coffee, not a tiny teacup. The plate is large and heavy, so I do wish it also came with a smaller plate, but I love this regardless. It is feminine but not frilly. Very pretty design!
