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.
