I have a few test color samples to share, the test colors are on the outer ring, and the left images are shiny, right images are etched matte:


Auburn is a gorgeous very dark burgundy purple-red. It is almost the same hue and shade value as Effetre Brown Dark Red, but is slightly cooler in color. It is a dense opaque that doesn’t transmit light. The core of the bead was made with 511820 CiM Hades followed by:
591204 Effetre White pastel Opaque
591006 Effetre super clear
591452 Effetre Brown Dark Red Opaque
591420-C Effetre Coral - Cinnamon Opaque
591006 Effetre Super Clear
511702 CiM Auburn Opaque
Crocus dots


**I MADE A MISTAKE>>>THIS COLOR IS ACTUALLY MARASCHINO (edited 11/25/11)
Valentine is a bright semi-opaque red that transmits a bit of light. It is a warm red compared to Effetre's Red Purple. A very true red.
The core of the bead was made with 511820 CiM Hades followed by:
591204 Effetre White pastel Opaque
511618 CiM Simply Berry Transparent
591438 Effetre Red Purple Opaque
591006 Effetre Super Clear
511102 Valentine Semi-Opaque (Maraschino)
Key Lime dots


Pimento is a dense red-orange, and completely opaque. Compared to Phoenix, it is about the same shade value, but the hue is more red.
Pimento: The core of the bead was made with 511820 CiM Hades followed by:
