Are they too red???

I've never had one full set of dishes.....with all the pieces!!! When I married my ex, my mom started us on a set of Lenox Midnight Blossoms china; but because of everything that happened I never got to complete it. And then Joe's mom gave us a full set of "china", but along the way some broke, some got "lost" and some were given to others; and once again I don't have a full set; I have a bunch of mismatched plates and bowls of all sizes!!
Yesterday, while out shopping, I decided that was it..... I decided to treat myself to a new set, all matching, all 8!!! I decided to be a little "different"; I got square plates.....and I got RED. Of course, I.love.them. Joe....not so much....he doesn't understnad why I would buy red.....he doesn't like them???? Oh well, I bought them....my treat and I like them; so I guess they are staying!!!
Tell me...... what do you think?? Too red?? Too square??

And the best part..... they were on sale-- buy one set, get one free.... so I only had to "buy" 4 of the sets and I saved 50%!!! Woo-hoo!!

****UPDATE: Come to find out.... my dad doesn't like them either----- whatever!!!! (Men....?)
