Glass Color Testing: CiM 553 Poolside, 315 Buttermilk and Monarch 216

Gambar
Three more  CiM  colors to chat about today! I used these three together, for a nice autumn contrast. First up we have a pale, creamy opaque color called  Buttermilk . This color is so pale you might almost mistake it for white until you put it next to white. Then you can see the creamy yellow undertones. It's kind of like an eggshell with just a tiny hint of yellow if you strike it right. Buttermilk is pretty well-behaved, but will spread a little bit if you don't cover it completely and carefully. It's not too stiff, but not at all soupy like other pale opaque cream colors tend to be. It also wasn't shocky, which was really nice. Buttermilk might technically be a striking color - I did notice that it would blush slightly yellow when I pulled the sample petal, but honestly, that goes away when working the glass with other colors. I think it might streak a little when used as a sculptural base, but that's it as far as striking goes. I like Buttermilk as a base ...
