See I say I'm a Virgo as an excuse for my behaviour, but maybe it's just that I grew up with 5.
plain white
9, but we had some saucers with 8, I think.

Steel plates

I had a great aunt that worked for Syracuse China, which during the mid-20th century was one of the largest suppliers of fine China to hotels and restaurants. Whenever someone in the family got married, they got a full set of fine expensive Syracuse China. Most family members also bought a cheaper set for daily use. So I never had Corelle as a kid.
Today, after all these years, the grandkids all have their own set, passed down from older generations, and my mom still has about 4 full sets she's inherited over the years. Anytime someone visits by car, she tries to convince them to take a set. They are beautiful antique china, but who needs fine China these days?
Before anyone suggests selling it, nobody is buying, and even the china brokers are backing off and buying much much less. The fine china market is glutted, and pretty much dead, even for excellent collections like ours.
Lol 7&8. Nothing broke like those plates.
4 here too

You were trusted with fancy ceramics? We just got mass produced plain stuff.

In the 80s and 90s my parents had #9 Old Town Blue, and my grandparents had #6 Woodland Brown. I still do, actually, I have a cupboard full of both and Butterfly Gold (#7) as well. Best dishes.
Mine were somewhere between 1 and 5. They had like orangey flowers but blue decoration lines I think?
Edit: it was this set!
We had mostly 8s, but somehow a few 4s got added in. Here I am now, 30-ish years later, and my roommate has 4s in her kitchen, too.
One of my grandparents had 7, I even took them to college
Pattern: 7, but I swear they were a different color.
A bit more coppery coloured, I think.
So, instead of the unique astrological profile, nor even the mere sun sign for a mere 1 in 12 division, we're now to discern more about us each, from just 10 different patterns on plates? Oh yes, that'll be much better. My whole family are exactly alike. The plates don't lie. :3
