Title: Caramel colour
Post by: lampworklover on September 13, 2010, 02:28:23 PM
Can anyone suggest a nice 'caramel' coloured opaque 104 glass please; something like CIM Ginger before you melt it and it goes all pale! Preferably something that either Martin or Sean stock?  I have looked but can't seem to find such a thing??

The new CIM Adobe is quite caramelly.

Lauscha caramello... although it can produce a lovely blushed tinge if you play with it  ;D

Caramello would get my vote to. It was one of my fav colours before I went to the dark side

Oh no, I'm torn now!!
Think I have to be brave and make a decision, and Adobe may just have won.  (Can't see the Lauscha in stock) Thanks for all the recommendations though.

Isn't it a pain when you can 'see' a colour in your mind, then you need to find who actually makes it? LOL

Love the Reichenbach. It reacts with ivory too, so you can get some nice effects :)

CiM ginger does actually go more or less rod colour if you work it long enough - I know because I was making a little sculptural face and kept melting bits back in by accident  ::)

It's a bit pinker than caramel though (and I second that Reichenbach caramel is very nice!)
