OK, it's not a great photo but this is part of my treasured Fiestaware collection My kitchen doesn't really have a theme but I have tried ... I wanted to do the whole French Provencal thing ... so I have blue and yellow for most things ... unfortunately, clutter from the family kind of offsets that idea Do you have a colour theme in your kitchen or at least for your dishware?

I've never really got the Fiesta ware thing...not even sure we have it in the UK although we obviously have coloured crockery I don't like having coloured appliances like toasters and kettles though because I change my colour preferences quite often. So, no, not really a colour theme other than I have wood veneer units, and coffee coloured walls. I did just buy a bright line table runner and candle though...and I need 2 new chairs (casual, not dining) so maybe I'll start a green theme.

I'm about to move into what will be my eleventh home as an adult. I have plain white dishes. My casserole dishes and all my serving pieces are white too. White goes with everything.

I have several (8) different colors of Feista Ware and I love it like that. Brings lots of color to an otherwise drab kitchen.

I'm still using the same heart design corelle we got for our wedding gift 20+ yrs ago. I am so sick of it. I have some strawberry design stoneware I got from a grocery store back in the 80s (buy xx amount of groceries, get a place setting for a dollar-that kind of promo) that I might start using. It's Homer Laughlin brand.
so nope, no color scheme for my dishes.

Red, turquoise, green and gold. But it's really just little pops of color here and there. The cabinets are dark oak, the countertops are dark brown/black granite, and the walls are muted gold. The color is in the accessories.
ETA: Right now my dishes are cheap Corelle Happy Days. The color scheme works but I'd like to have Fiestaware someday.

Other than Fiesta, the only things in my kitchen that are colorful are either bright turquoise or some shade of green. Not an intentional theme, I just like those colors.
Fiesta is a different animal. It's my usual colors (4 different blues, 2 different greens, plum, and cream) plus a pop of red and pink (Scarlet and Flamingo). I'm adding one more color (Sunflower) and then I'm done. Not with new Fiesta pieces, just with new colors.
In general, I am very particular about buying "my" colors. For things I wear, it's any version of blue, green, or purple, with neutrals to round it out. (Also an awesome pair of red shoes, because that's kind of a girly staple, isn't it?)
For the rest of the house, I favor turquoise and teal, deep dark purple, browns and creams with a little bit of black.

My dishes have a color theme, it's blue. But I wish it was black.
My every day dishes and serving bowls etc., are all handmade by my sister-in-law and brother. They sell to stores throughout British Columbia and Alberta.
When I bought my stuff they had the blue glaze but have since switched to a black and also a red glaze. I really like the black and I do have some pieces that are black, but I have too much money invested in the blue.

Red. I have a dish drainer, kitchen knives, kitchenaide mixer, toaster, and can opener (yes an electric one!) It still is a Coca-Cola theme, but I've taken most of that out of the kitchen. So mostly red.
ETA: I read your post wrong. At one point I had coca-cola dishes, but a lot broke. So I go to the thrift store and buy what I need to replace the broken items.

My kitchen has pale solid birch units and beech worktops. The floor is pale wood effect vinyl. Because everything is light and neutral, Except for my black range cooker, I change the colours fairly often. The walls are currently pale blue, and I have lots of tin advertising signs everywhere. I have red accessories, including a red/white polka dot oilcloth on the table, and the whole feel is of a fifties diner. Oh yes, the majority of my dishes are white, but I like coloured glasses.

It will when I can get rid of the ugly green counter tops that came with the house Part of a hinge fell off last week and I tried to convince DH we needed to replace the whole kitchen because it was falling apart. Unfortunately he is a handy guy and replaced the hinge.

All my crockery is white. I have light cherry coloured cabinets,black work surfaces with white walls and grey splashback tiles. The floor is slate tiles. The only colour I have is the drying towels and I change them ever so often. At the moment they're red.

Tuscan colors...terracotta, mustard yellow, sage green. That's just my dishes. Our kitchen is wide open to the main area of the house, so the colors are shared throughout the kitchen/dinning room and living room. There are also touches of teal, burnt orange and dark brick red.

The plan for the new kitchen is gray walls, white cabinets & black countertops. These are my dishes. I've had them since we got married (1991) and I still love them. Any decorative items I put in the new kitchen will color coordinate w/them.

When we saw them in the model home I was a bit freaked out because that portion of the house wasn't fenced. Our fence goes up further so the windows are in the back yard instead of on the street for the world to see in. LOL

The colors in our kitchen are based on the same ones we use all through the house - navy blue, dark green and cranberry red. The cabinets are hickory, stained in a medium tone, with a band of dark green just under the top molding, the appliances and sink are white and the counters are a lighter green with flecks of tans and darker green. We have all white dishes, and most small appliances, except my KitchenAid mixer, which is candy apple red. Dish towels are navy or dark green. Valance over he window, which is in the corner above the sink, is the same fabric we had our living room drapes made from, and that's dark green, blue and red along with a golden tan color. Walls are a light beige called Beach Grass.
We don't have a "theme" for decorating, like wine or chickens or anything.

I have an open concept. My living room, dining room, and kitchen are all a combination of the same colors. Brown, tan, and multiple shades of green. My dishes are a rainbow of Fiestaware, but I do have Shamrock and Lemongrass.

My kitchen walls are apple green and I have red accents (toaster, ceiling fan, KA mixer, etc.) My dishes have red, yellow and blue in them. I like bright colors. :-)

This is the picture that provided my color scheme (except the blue is more purplish than in the photo). My Fiestaware is yellow, orange, dk red, purple, and green. The walls have been off-white, then purple, then apple green. However, my new kitchen isn't going to have the wall space for the picture (it's like 36"x36" square). I'm going to keep the color scheme, though. What little wall I have will probably be either the apple green again (I really liked it) or a golden yellow.

My new kitchen is white, grey and shades of blue. All of our dishes have at least one shade of blue in them. We live at the beach, so all the blue makes sense for us.
