I have for many, many years seen pictures of glass beads with incredible, bright, super-saturated colors. Not silver glass, Double Helix or StrikingColor types of colors, but regular colors that simply have a greater intensity than any I've seen in the Effetre or CIM glasses I typically use.
Could they be 96 or 90coe glass? I've asked once or twice, but I think "soft glass" was the most I got. Then again, maybe the photos have been tinkered with?
