Colors are spot on.  Thick enough to keep heat away from your hand, thin enough to have functionality and not feel clunky. Large enough to be able to use, small enough to not feel like you're whipping out this huge thing just to hold a pan. I usually have a hard time with size and thickness.  I've had others that were just to thick and big that it wasn't even worth the hassle to bring out.  These are perfect. T
