BuckEye Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 I think the last list is from Bill Tow or Rios. It is just a list of the colors they used 1-22 examples of opaque colors, with 46-50 being ones he added later or forgot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock Marbles Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Craig, Thank you. I figured it was part of your email from Don Rios, but didn't know if he communicated with you where he got the information and any more related context. I believe (and I am open to correction) that this list of colors was generated by early CA collectors looking at their marbles (circa 2002). Their goal may have been to determine the full CA color pallet. Another goal would be trying to determine color combinations of a 4-color marble. Some of those reference marbles in collections where guineas, slags, striped transparents and striped opaques. I do not know if "exotic" colors are included in this set. It would be interesting if a sample marble photo was submitted and the colors referenced (e.g., Marble #1 Cobalt Guinea, colors: #36-Cobalt Blue, #1-White, #2-Black, etc.). Also, would be interesting if these colors were then cross-referenced to known Cambridge Glass colors (e.g., #1-White = Carrara 1923). Again, thanks for you help. Sincerely, John McCormick "Shamrock Marbles" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
