A very trivial change from asking for opinions on my future child's name choice. Please give honest opinions on these colour options for a dishware set. Thanks to anyone who bothers to weigh in!

So I like both colour choices, this set is a bargain look-a-like to a Denby set of dishware IMO. Can't choose between the blue/taupe or the mushroom/taupe. Anyone bored enough to open this thread and vote will be very appreciated!

I'd choose the blue version.

MrsTerryPratchett · 03/05/2015 01:30

Bleugh to the poopy brown. Blue for me. BTW YABVU to have this in AIBU. Grin

Minitant · 03/05/2015 01:30

If choose the blue, I think food would look better on it for some reason.

Spermysextowel · 03/05/2015 01:30

Blue.

Millipedewithherfeetup · 03/05/2015 01:30

Blue here too !

SorchaN · 03/05/2015 01:32

Another vote for blue.

Rainbunny · 03/05/2015 01:34

Thanks, I am leaning towards blue as well. I just keep wondering about how various food will look on a blue plate?

Oh yes MrsTerry - I know I am BVU to have this in AIBU but the replies here are so quick and honest! Besides, if others can ask for opinions on naming their child "widget" then surely I can get feedback on dinnerware? ;)

Both are horrible, sorry :) Denby is usually white inside isn't it?

Korma (eg) would look weird on blue plates.

I may be BU Grin

The blue is beautiful! Quite like the brown, but like blue very much.

FastWindow · 03/05/2015 01:37

I like 'widget' yabu. Smile

FatSwan · 03/05/2015 01:38

Blue vote here!

cuntyMcCunterson · 03/05/2015 01:41

Blue for me. I really really dislike eating from dark coloured crockery.

Spermysextowel · 03/05/2015 01:44

The concentration of colour in the middle of the brown makes me think bum hole.

MrsTerryPratchett · 03/05/2015 01:46

If you're worried about how food will look, get white plates. I have blue plates and they are lovely.

The 'Widget' people are also BVU.

Nee Naww it's the AIBU Police Grin

Fastwindow - Denby have making lines with various colours inside for years now. The set I like is pictured here. I just don't want to spend the price on a Denby set that would be for everyday family casual dining, we have a decent set for formal entertaining.

Well that's me told rain all my admittedly old Denby is white inside. Must keep up Smile
Well then I'd go brown. Goes with most food?

Rainbunny · 03/05/2015 01:52

Did I somehow actually offend somebody with using "widget" as a silly name reference? I work in software development and a web "widget" means a basic application with limited functionality. I used it offhand because I didn't want to use a real name in case it offends... Blimey it IS true what they say about the ability of posters to get offended...

Food looks best on a white plate but of these two options definitely pick the blue!

The brown is a bit too Victorian workhouse.

squoosh · 03/05/2015 01:56

Oh dear.

OP, the 'widget' people were clearly joking

Spermysextowel · 03/05/2015 02:00

My godmother had the 'rough' kind of Denby. When she stirred her coffee I'd have to leave the room because the sound made me vomit. When I visited her as an adult I used to take plastic cutlery, which wasn't perfect as still a little screechy & I once swallowed a fork tine, but at least it was more bearable than the fingernails on a blackboard feeling.

FastWindow · 03/05/2015 02:01

I was a widget YABUer. Sorry for worrying you! I got the joke!

I submit ' Klamydia' instead. Or 'Diana Victoria Elizabeth'

OK now I'm jesting... I love å royal baby.

Rainbunny · 03/05/2015 02:07

Squoosh - I think I just realized that. Apologies for overreacting! It just seems so easy to accidentally offend someone here...

I've never owned anything but white dinnerware before, mostly because I can mix and match any white items. Recently though, I just felt drawn to something a bit different for once. I'm far too boring in general, which must be obvious as I'm asking strangers to weigh in on the bold decision of buying non-white dinnerware.

BLUE.

Brown is 1970s yuck.

TwigletLola · 03/05/2015 02:53

Definitely blue, the brown is a rather poo-ish shade of brown!

pocketsized · 03/05/2015 05:35

Because it's 5.30 and I have nothing better to do while feeding I'll weigh in with blue!
