I think I'm going to assume I have not let the beads "soak" long enough to develop color....at least that will be my excuse for today and I'll probably look for another one tomorrow! Thanks for the info.

Doug Remschneider recommends up to 5 hours at hold temperature to develop color. I usually don't leave mine in there that long. I usually let it go 2 hours or so at temperature then start ramping it down. But it depends on the color of glass, and the color I want. I have re-annealed pieces before to get the colors to strike more. In that situation, I bring it up to temperature and check it every 30 minutes or so. When it's at the color I want (actually it will usually be a little darker at annealing temp than at room temp) I start ramping it back down.
