The new Aix pattern is similar in some ways to Sud. It does seem to go well with several other solids though, see for yourself:

Our second video clip, featuring the fantastic melamine dinnerware we’ve been selling for over 2 years now. Watch this space for new designs and patterns arriving in March.

Le Cadeaux Melamine Dinnerware Brought to You by Touch of Europe

The latest of the Le Cadeaux Melamine patterns actually really only works with yellow or white.  Since white is being discontinued, we are showing it only with yellow, with which is works quite well.  This is a Sunny, Summery pattern and it lends itself to a lot of possible combinations with other patterns if you like to mix and match.  It really is not bad with green either, just a tad dark.

The new Melamine pattern from Le Cadeaux, Malaga, is here.  Just in time for holiday entertaining, subtle, elegant and classy.

And it coordinates beautifully with the yellow and blue solid colors.  See for yourself:

We love this pattern! It’s versatile, subtle and just beautiful, don’t you think so?

New Melamine patterns, new guides!

Anyone who has tried to match colors when buying online knows how difficult it is. Colors vary on each computer, depending on the resolution, the quality of the display and often the quality of the photograph itself. Our eyes all perceive color differently too. This makes matching anything a challenge.

One of the issues that has come up in the past few months is how our solid color melamine dishes coordinate with the patterned ones. And what seemed at first like a no-brainer, is in fact a bit more challenging.

Colors that we thought would obviously go together, when put side by side, actually do not work.

In an effort to help our customers pick out the best possible combination, we have devised a buying guide that we will divide by pattern to keep things simple. We photographed each design with each solid, so you can see for yourself. And we will give our opinion and rank them according to our personal opinion (and since we have them here, we can tell honestly and without the biais of a monitor, what we feel works).

1. With Yellow

Actually pretty good, it brings out the yellow in the pattern

2. With Blue

Beautiful and restrained.

3. With Red

Wonderful, it makes the fruit more vibrant

4. With Green

Also very good

Our conclusion: they all work well, which is nice. Mix and match, or pick your favorite color. Or go with the main color in your table scheme. You cannot go wrong with this very versatile design.
