Perfect for what we needed.   The a bright crisp white and even more important for us, is the light weight of each piece.  With some problems with our hands as we get older, these are much easier to handle.  Plus, the can go in microwave, oven and dishwasher.   However, since they are so easy to hand wash, that's we have be doing most.   We got the 6 place setting and are thinking of getting another set.   We went with the winter frost white, only because we have brightly colors table linens.   Corelle has many other styles and colors to choose from.  Highly recommens.
