Glass Color Chart
What really
is the color of your seaglass?
Over 100
named colors to help you accurately describe your sea glass and
identify rare or valuable sea glass...very
important when buying or selling!
Here is a complete sea
and beach glass color chart to help you
identify the color of your sea glass.
This sea glass color
chart has the standardized names that David
put together based on the colors that your computer screen shows. We
will be adding some commonly used names in parenthesis. We have found
this much more helpful than using a less extensive or non-standardized
color chart. Why?
Very often, the unusual
colors you find cannot be categorized using
a simple color chart. Also, using your favorite names when describing
the color of your sea glass can cause quite a bit of confusion or can
even be misleading. Use of this sea glass color chart and referring to
it when communicating with another person will help avoid these
misunderstandings.
This full color spectrum
sea glass color chart shows 119 of the 130
colors that show on a computer screen (some colors were deemed not
applicable to sea glass). It helps you to accurately describe the glass
color that you have. This is very important when collecting sea glass
and selling sea glass.
Try this out:
Take a shard of sea glass. Hold it up with a piece of white paper
behind it. Compare it to the color on the screen. Now hold the sea
glass up to a muted natural light source, again comparing it to the
screen colors. It will be quick and easy to eliminate the colors it is
NOT and settle on the standard name for the exact color you have!
NOTE: There are so many nuances to color that it is naturally
impossible to match many colors to this chart exactly. Use combinations
such as "lime spring green" for a color that falls between two other
colors on the chart and make use of "pale," "bright," "smoky," to
modify colors as needed.
