Rarity Of Colors

I'm going to list the rarity of colors based upon our own collection (which is a lot of sea glass collected over the years). Keep in mind what I said about the color rarity being different depending on the geographical area. (For a discussion on origins of the colors in sea glass, go to How is sea glass made?)

Most of our sea glass has been collected on the beaches of the Chesapeake Bay, Puget Sound, and Lake Erie. Friends and family have helped contribute to our collection.

Here goes:

Rarest of the rare:

Yellow.

Harder to find:

Pink.

Cornflower/periwinkle.

Purple/amethyst/lavender.

Cobalt.

Aqua.

Fairly hard to find:

Milk glass (kind of white opaque).

Jadite (kind of a greenish opaque).

Citron.

Bright lime green.

Light blue (sometimes people refer to this and the light green as seafoam).

Light green.

Dark green.

Honey colored browns.

Amber brown.

Easy to find:

Green.

White.

Brown.

I have also found colors that don't fit an exact color. For example, David found one that the best way to describe it is a smoky dark gray color.

I would say that if you can't quite classify it, it more than likely isn't a real common color.

I find it interesting to get on eBay and see what colors people are labeling their sea glass when they put it up for sale.
