What color is the glass in this picture??
Can anyone tell me what the name of the glass color is that is used in the hot pink, purple, and orange beads?
In the other picture what glass color is used in the baby blue, bright red and dark red beads?
I emailed the artist who made them but I did not receive a response. I kinda figured it was to much trouble but I figured I would give it a try.
But since I know you all are always go the extra mile to try and help answers questions and concerns I decided to post the pictures and see if anyone new what the names were. After all I am new lamp working and it is so hard to buy glass from a color chart and comparing it to someones work to see if it might be a match. Go figure right?? Thanks for every ones help in advance! You all are awesome!

Keep in mind the fact that many pictures are massively photoshopped and all monitors are different- some beads only bear a passing resemblance to their photo's. To illustrate the point there are no orange beads in the first photo on my monitor, only a dark yellow that looks a bit like CIM pumpkin. TGhe pink might be rubino oro over white, the purple looks a bit like one of the CIM colours (maybe plum or crocus?)
The transparent blue might be light aqua and the opaque blue could be light sky. Bright red looks like it could be a lauscha transparent and the dark red could be sangria.

My guess for the first picture
hot pink is rubio over heffalump
the yellow is papaya yellow odd (422?)
the transparent purple might be lavender blue but it's hard to tell with the lighting
Second picture:
The light blue is light blue
I think you are right about the trans red being Lauscha
The dark red pastel very well could be dark special red
Those hearts with the silver are pretty.

It would be nice if you named the artist considering you're using their pictures.

... Although that's probably part of what makes an artist a true artist.. you create things that you like and then wonder if anyone else could possibly like them without having seen the rest of the story that's still in your head. ~Me

It's Cassie Donlen. I know her work anywhere. Sorry, I'm not much help with the colors. I do know she's excellent with her EDP. She really makes it pop.

Yes it is Cassie Donlen. The pictures had her name on them I found then on the web but they didnt show when I copied them. I asked a few months ago but I just figured she was busy. It really wasnt that big of a deal. I was just putting together my first glass order and thought I would ask everyone and pick a few colors to try and make some of those colors since I didnt see anything that looked exact. Maybe my color is off on my monitor and that is why I am seeing them differently then everyone else??? Thanks for everyones help.

The colors do look off to me as well. So even if you knew what she used, you probably aren't going to get what you see.

Im just starting out and from what I here that color is hard to work with if you dont know what your doing. Since I dont, I think I will stick to some basic colors and see what I come up with.

Hot pink looks like EDP with either an amethyst or rubino over it. It is definitely encased. So is the other purple. Maybe a pastel sky blue w/ a transparent purple over it.
The bottom pic I think is lt turq. w/ the red dots, and the transparent ones look like trans med aqua w/ sky blue or white dote. The red may just be transparent red w/ the lt pastel aqua dots. My best guess.

The hot pink outer layer may be Czech pink tourmaline.

I doubt it Robin because check tourmaline pink hates pretty much every other color and will crack pretty quickly.
