[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9574232, member: 2844"]You have to be able to assess the colours and subtle differences, but even then it is not an exact science. A side by side test with a known piece helps, as Lucille said. But helping is not exact either. I always look at the acid drop from the side, against daylight. That gives you a better idea of the colour than looking at it straight on (from above). As Holly said, the unglazed back of a white tile should also give you a better idea of the colour.[/QUOTE]
