Default Help! Color ID.. What color did I use?

Help! Color ID.. What color did I use?

I made this piece a few years ago. I thought it was Loki lipstick.
It is not.
Then I tried my favorites:

Light blue A/P
Silver Tears
Amber Purple
Double amber purple

I just can't seem to figure out what color I used. Does anyone recognize this color?

Looks like silver fume implosion with trapped air bubbles to me.

The consistency of the bubble placement reminds me of a florists frog with such even spacing.

But I haven't ever fumed nor have I worked any boro colors so I could well be talking through my hat here.

I don't ever fume so it can't be that. I have lung issues so I stay away from fuming even though I do have a great ventilation system. I know working with the silver glass in boro has silver anyway but I pick my battles.

As for the dots, I use a tool from Weaver Industries that is similar to a frog.

Did you use the same color backing on your tests? That can make a big difference.
I want to say triple passion, but I don't think it is.

Yep! I like Turbo cobalt fine frit for the backing. I tried triple passion. I tried two different batches and did not strike the colors at first. Then ran the kiln again and did a strike. Both results were different but not the same colors. They went purple not blues. Thanks!

Mai-Tai? Queen Bee?
Those are the 2 colors that came to mind.
I played with boro for a short time, and I remember those 2 have a look like that.
But I am just throwing that out there.
It's pretty what ever it is!.

Have you considered that the flame settings may have been different and it is in fact Light Blue AP or similar?...
