How much R&D goes into a trying to replicate popular Odd batch? Does it depend on demand? What's the criteria?

I would like to talk about
Vetrofond ODD colors and
Vetrofond River Rock. Many of the
Vetrofond ODD colors consist of a glass rod that looks like a millefiori, A simple one, just a bullseye with one color in the center and the other color on the outside.
In a days production of a single
ODD color they might produce 1,500 pounds. During the production the diameter of the center color will get larger or smaller and that will have a large effect on the color of the rod.
Many years ago
Vetrofond was trying to make an avocado color. We renamed it
River Rock.
We tried to replicate and get more RIVER ROCK. The factory used the same formula, same equipment and same method, but no RIVER ROCK.
I know I did not answer each question, I will work on answering them in another story.
