Question Moretti/Effetre/Vetrofond Color Chart - Need Help!

I just got into organizing my glass rods and keeping track of their number and type and names. I made a big mistake by buying and just mixing them up. Now I know I have to keep track of them, and I know which rods I hate, and which rods I use the most. (I hate opalinos by the way! Aargh! I can never use them without them bubbling and scumming on me. )

I'm ignorant newb and please forgive my English. I use only Moretti and Vetrofond. I'm sure Jean from Nortel explained to me the different between the 2 if any, but of course I paid attention. My understanding right now is, Moretti & Effetre is the same thing, right? Whats the story with Vetrofond, is it from the same company too? Anybody have Vetrofond color chart? All I found so far is Moretti chart only.

I found a few colors that I dont have the name and numbers, I will post picture of them, I need your kind help to identify them. My camera just died, battery still charging. Please kindly post if you have answer for my questions so far. Thank you so much!

it all depends on how anal you want to get. There is a difference in some of the vetro and effetre colors, dark ivory, black, and lavender rose are a few I can think of. I have mine bundled differently but in the same bin.

Do you need a color chart or just the numbers and names?

Thank you Suzy! I only have a few Vetrofond colors, color chart will be nice, but the names and numbers will do. Thank you so much!

Organizing continues!

This one says: Mor-440 on the label. Just wondering if anybody know the name of the glass? The color is sweet, remind me of wet brick, and its so easy to photograph. WYSIWYG. Please help, thank you!


This one below says: Mor-452, it looks like a dark chocolate.
In Moretti color chart, number 452's name is Dark Red Brown.
Is that how 452/Dark red brown supposed to look like? To me it looks more chocolate/brown and no red at all. I thought maybe I put the rods in wrong plastic bag. Anybody know for sure? Please post! Thank you!

The 440 is Red Roof Tile, a premium Effetre Color. The 452 is Dark Red Brown, and yes, it is a lovely chocolate color.

440 is red roof tile. Red brown is pretty brown until you make it into stringer or mix it with white, that looks about right. Here's a great chart from Chris fisher:
