These cups are a stunning dark blue color. They are the perfect size for a drink at any time of day. Even filled with ice there is still enough room to have a full drink. I like that the set comes with 8 cups so if your having guest over there is plenty of matching cups. The only issue is they all look the same so we use colored napkins as coasters to differ for everyone. The glass seems to be made strong so maybe on a carpet floor they won't break.
