Title: What glass is this?
Post by: Fenrir on April 06, 2012, 01:59:43 PM
Hi, a while back I bought a couple of packs of the mixed effetre stringers from tuffnels, in them I got two stringers that have a rough texture and are sort of redish pink but turn into a wide range of pinks depending on how long you heat them for. However I cannot seem to figure out what colour they are to order some more. Here is the stringer and a bead with three dots of it as petals

And here is the same stringer sitting on (from left to right) Dark red, medium red, light red, carrot red, and coral.

The colour in both of those pictures is off but the lentil is the closest to reality.

Looks like coral to me (420). The exact shade varies a lot by batch so you can't always tell by putting one rod next to another. I think my coral stringers look darker than my rods too.

Thanks all, the rod's of coral that I have look sort of a peach colour rather than the redish pink of the stringers, but when I pulled a stringer from one once it cooled down it has changed colour to be more like the stringers I got in the pack. Thanks for the help :)
