I knew from purchasing two blue pieces that I wanted more! I just wasn't sure if blue was the only color I wanted so I ordered these small cups w/ 4 color choices. Glad I did... the red is beautiful! The tan, or brown, is very rustic and nicely plain. etc. In other words. ordering these will help you choose the color best for you. I personally am mixing it up, but matching two or more pieces for each meal idea. Fabulous!!! And yes, as you have likely ascertained, I am so pleased with Rachael Ray's products that I am filling my kitchen with them! Love this product, and Great Offer Stock. Suzanne.
