ABSTRACT
In this pilot study, the authors investigate the overall research question on how the color of transparent materials is perceived and matched with samples in visual color systems; the main focus is on the NCS and its potential to represent color in glass artifacts. Ÿe research group is multidisciplinary, and it comprises areas such as design, interaction design, and computer science as well as experts in the glass production processes. One of the partners in the project is Glass Research Institute, Glafo (Växjö, Sweden), and this partner has a unique collection of circa 3000 colored glass samples, which have been gathered during the last 60 years. Ÿe collection is frequently used by glass designers, but it does not cover the entire color range that can be produced in glass.
