The following samples are the approximate color variations and
shades of dichroic glass that we use.
All of the eight colors that we use are shown - dark blue, light
blue, both blues, green, red, pink, gold, purple and orange. The autumn color
choice is a combination of dark blue, red, gold and orange. Dichroic Glass has
many more colors available however, we feel that these colors maintain the
highest degree of consistency in their variation of colors. If there is a
specific color that you are interested in, please
contact us as we would love to work with you to create that very special
memorial.
Please keep in mind that we cannot control the shades of most colors since
Dichroic Glass is extremely difficult to work with and has a tendency to change
somewhat during the kiln firing process. The main characteristic of Dichroic
Glass is that it has a transmitted color and a completely different reflective
color. Furthermore these two colors shift depending on the angle of view.
All colors except red and dark blue will have varying shades associated with
them and can appear as light, medium or dark in color. Pink, green, gold, purple
and orange normally fall into the light to dark range, light blue generally
appears either light or medium in shade with dark blue fairly consistent as a
royal blue. There is no actual red color in Dichroic Glass since their "Candy
Apple Red" produces an orange red when fired however, through many hours of
experimentation, Linda has been able to create an almost pure red color from
this very unpredictable and unique glass.
We
are always experimenting with our colors, as we have with the red and dark blue,
to achieve a consistent shade quality and, as results develop, they will be
posted for you on this page.
We hope this helps you
decide upon a color selection that you will
be proud to wear and keep forever, if you have any concerns, questions or a
would prefer a different color or combination of colors, please feel free to
contact us
at any time and we will do our best to work with you.
NOTE - The following colors have been photographed and scanned and in no way
shows the extreme beauty and brightness of Dichroic Glass. These are shown
strictly as a guide to help you in your color selection only. This unusual glass
must be viewed in person in order to appreciate the full beauty and liveliness
that only Dichroic Glass can achieve. |
