Default 96 Murrini colors

I make 96 murrini for my sister to use in her fusing. I've been keeping a bit of some of them to eventually use for lampwork too when I get to that.

The colors I've chosen so far don't seem to show up as brightly as the 104 stuff does. The 104 just pops more in what I've done so far. The colors seem denser or something.
Any hints for what colors hold up best, or what I might be doing that I should change?
I'm just doing simple stuff, barnacles, etc.

Which brand are you using? Uroboros isn't dense, like the furnace colors. If you want density, you need to use Reichenbach, Kugler, Gaffer, etc.

Ah, I do have some Reichenbach, I'll try using more of that, thanks.

Maybe an excuse to go buy some more?

Yes, I think you need some more.

I need to go make a list of what I have I think, so I know what I need!
