Dinner sets should be white and white only. AIBU?

I’ll give you a pass for off white.

Please someone tell me they also remember when the woman posted her roast dinner on a clear see through plate? #wistful

We had Royal Doulton Melissa for our wedding presents in 1990. It is all still intact, because we use it on special occasions only! Not white, but mostly cream with tiny floral details around the rim.
My favourite 'everyday' set was light cream with a subtle bit of texture - from Homebase. Most of it has perished but I still have a set of 6 pasta plates.
My son bought me some Royal Doulton 1817 Brights for Christmas. Most of you would hate them but I love 'em.

I have a 72 piece set of Royal Doulton with hand painted periwinkles.

@speakout - just like Hyacinth Bucket Bouquet.

We have vintage blue and white willow pattern plates which are lovely and much more attractive than a standard white IKEA set.

I've two dinner/tea/coffee services. The one inherited from my mother is white Doulton bone China with small flowers and a silver rim; mine is Denby in pale grey with faded sweet peas. They look good on the dining table.

The kitchen china is a mixture of traditional blue and white, Emma Bridgewater Toast, and naff plain white. The white is easily replaced so good for everyday and I don't care if it's sad.

Royal Doulton Pastorale and Denby Encore.

A. I really can't imagine why this would be important to anyone I'd find interesting enough to dine with.
B. I have BLACK, SQUARE plates which I purchased while living in Spain, because I liked that they were a bit different and I'm not a sheeple.

My parents had a mish mash of different sets collected over the years because you didn't just throw things away when the odd one broke (unlike the criminal waste of resources on the planet today). I know quite a few fairly wealthy families who have the same, albeit from fairly classic potteries.
I remember going to dinner with friends of my ex husband who were collecting a particular pottery (think it was Royal Albert or some such) and being astonished that this was a thing. I really think some of these a stuff is serious 'wannabe' rather than made it and comfortable in your own skin.

'I give you octagonal 'Eternal Beau' - the height of dinner party sophistication in the 80's.'

I think they were actually the economy version of the Royal Albert type.

We eat off utility China Berylware most days (pale green wartime issue). We have a few bits of iris ware ( blue too) and even a bit of Jasmineware ( yellow). I bet the makers never thought they’d still be in use 70 years later!
They suit me because I like pastels
