Messy Color™ Algae Ltd Run

511484 - Sold Out

Algae Ltd Run (511484)<br />A transparent greyish green.

A transparent greyish green.


"Algae is a yellowish/greyish dark green transparent. I think that this colour fills an important void in my 104 colour palette, and so I'm a bit sad that it's a limited run and only sporadically available. There are only so many dark transparent greens in our colour palette. To name a few, we have Effetre Sage Green, Effetre Dark Emerald, Effetre Dark Grass Green, CiM Slytherin, and REI Beryl Green, and none of them are in this exact yellow-green space. Slytherin and Sage Green are the only other green transparent glasses that approach Algae in terms of saturation level, but Algae is darker and richer than both of those other colours."

"A couple weeks ago I pulled out some Algae and Peace and did my normal 1:9 through 9:1 ratios and this is what I came up with . . . . It surprises me that the four beads on the right all have white in them of different amounts and get darker as they have less white but still look fully transparent but BAM! the 5th bead from the right is opaque all of a sudden."

"It's a nice, transparent greyish green, and is rather dark when used by itself, but quite lovely over clear! Rather nice over white too." Read more at DragonJools blog.
