What color chargers are most versatile?

[stratford]

I want to buy some under-dinner plate chargers to dress up a table. Red, gold, and silver seem to be popular colors. Of course it depends on one's decor, but I was wondering which color most people think would be most versatile and attractive in an otherwise neutral table setting, for all kinds of foods?

Plain white is the most universal, of the simplest design.

You can then add any color with your tablecloth and other tableware.

Thanks, but with my white plates, I think that would just look a little plain, like a dinner plate sitting on another dinner plate. Might be good with other types of china though.

What dinnerware and flatware do you have? Can you provide a link?

I was going to recommend white as well - it is the "most versatile" which is what you asked. I like the look of white on white as well.

If you're against that look, then I would go silver (which is essentially shiny white haha).

For me, silver works best. It compliments my everyday and fine china. I also have some medium dark rattan (or something like it) ones that work great and wood work with many colors and themes. I love tablescapes.

Was just looking at pictures and I think you're right about silver because it coordinates with the silverware and is the most neutral, compared to gold or red or other colors. Plus I have silver rimmed plates.

I have silver, gold, red, green, purple, and cognac (those are leather). For a general charger - I'd go with silver.
