The color of the set is gorgeous, which a speckled moss/sage green in the inside, and an off-white, almost "greige" outside. The gloss/finish is great too. However, the sizing of the plates is way off. The small bowls are too small, only enough to hold a dipping sauce. The larger bowls are a medium-size. The salad plates are on the small side, and the large dinner plates are quite large, too large to fit in my 13" wide cabinets easily. If you're looking for something that would fit an entire spread of a buffet, these plates are for you.
