I purchased the blue set that I believe is marked as grey on the website. It's only been 1 week of use. Dishes were well packed and none broke. The colour is vibrant indigo blue. The edge of some soup bowls is not as vibrant but that's typical I guess of stoneware. Gorgeous set and enjoying being a foodie with these. I detracted a star only as Fedex delivered these outside my condo and would not deliver outside the door. The box was a ted bit heavy.
