I am wondering what colours have Bern used as base colours for silver glasses with best success or interesting results - all I know to use is the standards Ivory or Opal Yellow.

Also opal yellow is so shocky and expensive l, does anyone know a cheap alternative?

Cobalt or Ink Blue are both good..

which silver glasses do you use these with Helen? i've never tried either (under silver glass anyway)!

princess pink

okay white is great under ekho and kalypso, and i reckon it'll work good under terra 2 as well.

i like dark lavender, pale amethyst and clear under clio

under aurae i use clear, black, pink lady/rubino/gold ruby bright, also gold violet is amazing with it.

psyche-ivory, opal yellow, porcelain, black, cobalt trans

triton-cobalt trans, black, lapis (amazing!!)

hope that give you some ideas :)
