A Walk Through our Different Colors & Color Techniques

“The purest and most thoughtful minds are those which love color the most.” – John Ruskin

Colors can do so much to a space, they can invoke emotion, provide a certain feeling, & help integrate different themes.  The same can be said in how we use colors in our unique custom glass products.  CBD Glass has been perfecting how glass has been colored with modern techniques and we’d like to share our most common methods & color styles below.

 

BACKPAINTED GLASS

This method for coloring glass involves painting the back surface of the glass, allowing almost any color you desire to come through the glass.  We have a list of colors that will work but virtually any color on the Benjamin Moore Color Chart can be backpainted. 

 

OPAQUE GLASS COLORS

As their name suggests, our opaque colors cannot be fully seen through and can be applied to countertops, doors, shelves, pedestals, & more.  This type of color can only be used on 3/8” to 1” thick glass.  We have created our own unique selection of opaque colors listed below:

TRANSLUCENT COLORS

Translucent colors are magnificent for many different types of glass materials, many times used as dividers & partitions because of their see-through affect. The only drawback is that his type of color can only be used on textured glass. Check out the full collection below:
