Silver.

Sophisticated and timeless.

I would use gold with cream because they just seem to go together. I use white with silver for the same reason. Our "good" china has a platinum edge so most of my fancy linens are white or a pale green similar to the other colors in the china. I like both looks but in our house we are silver based... Now for casual fall, I use earth tones and brass accents.

Silver would look more contemporary---and probably more formal.

Gold with cream.

Silver with white.

But no problem, either will be beautiful.

I think you could go either way. If I was using my fine china I'd use silver because they are white with silver trim. But, if I was using my late MIL's fine china I'd use gold because these dishes have gold accents.

Having said that, I hear that gold has become the hottest trend. Everything always seems to come and go around again in popularity. At this point I think it's just a personal preference.

Gold has always been my choice. I believe it is a better compliment to most base colors. For the most part, it comes down to a matter of preference.

I am a crème and gold gal for my formal china and flatware......but, my everyday dinnerware is white with stainless flatware. It's truly all about what you prefer.

Hi mominohio, my first choice is always gold tone with cream, simply because I am not a silver person. The gold seems warmer and more inviting.

Are you a silver or a gold person?

I have always been a gold person, but lately I've been loving the look of silver as well. I think I could easily have sets of both so I can get a different look at different times.

I used to be a gold home decor person, but I've changed to silver. I like gold with cream and white with silver. I may be prejudiced because my mother gave me her fine China set and it's white with a silver rim.
