Glass Insulator Color Index
(rev. 1-26-2007)
Note: Due to the variation of raw materials used by the glass
manufacturers, different shades of the same color may exist. These
color matches are as close as we can get (using the insulators in our own
collections), but they may not match your insulators exactly. All readings
were taken on a light table with color correct bulbs (5000K, CRI=92).
All color matching was done with the insulator laying on its
side on the light table and looking through the dome glass, except as noted:
 |
A ‘*’ after the Color Number indicates the color match
was made looking through the
crown or skirt. |
|
|
A ‘**’ after the Color Number indicates the color
match was made looking through the skirt from inside the base. |
