Two ideas. Lauscha has a really dark green transparent and I have some odd Opaque Precision Rembrandt that stays really dark if left unstruck. I can send you a piece of each.

Have you looked at Vet's odd colors? They've got a couple of really dark moss greens.

Vetrofond black is a really dark green isn't it? You could dilute that with clear, or white to make a dark green.

I would also go with the CIM Elphaba unique dark dark if you can find some.



The base on this bead is the CIM Elphaba unique dark dark. If you think this will work, I can send you a rod or two.

Interesting. My original Nessi is a transparent blue-green and the "new" (discovered in Mike's vault) Nessi is a pastel blue much like cobalt. Will the real Nessi Ice please stand up.

I've been looking for dark moss green forever. ASK used to have one, but I need a lot, enough to make 8 knobs for my bathroom. I want an opaque in a dark forest or mossy green. It just seems like this would be a popular color.

Default DEAVRDI Greens

I just ordered a box of Shorts from Devardi to see their colors.

Here are 4 opaque greens they sent. The pic is taken in daylight and not touched up except to sharpen for my shaky hand!

The dark green is great and I think they have other greens as well. Hope this helps. The link is

Default Frantz just released new Messy today...

The Slytherin Unique might be what you were looking for, it really dark opaque looking green. Oh the Adamantium is also a reaaly dark green, almost too dark.

I have some Adamantium, and mine is a dark greyish brown, not green at all. Are you sure that's the glass you meant?

There were some *old* odd lots from vetrofond that were so dark green they were pretty much black....from about 2 years ago....anyone remember what they were called? I've got a few rods of each, but they're wrapped up in the other room--from the same "batch" of odds as lichen/dark lichen & honey crunch....

Bummer... I haven't melted my Adamantium yet, but the paddle looks like a really dark green from the place I bought it from. Gray brown doesn't sound that exciting. Oh Well. -Echo
