I fell in love with this particular iteration of the Tulip accent plate. It belongs to the Colorwave Graphite collection, but it was clear from the photos (as well as a review below) that it would also work very well with Colorwave Apple. I was in a quandary, though, because my dinnerware is in Colorwave Green (not Apple)... but I liked the accent plates enough that I took a risk and ordered them, just to see. To my surprise and delight, the cream background on the accent plates acquires a distinctly Green tint as it edges toward the rim, so they look very much at home with Green dinner plates. At the same time, their black rim and the tulip's stem (in Apple) stand out as accents. Stunning! (The photo doesn't do it justice, but I attach it anyway).
