Sea Glass Color Chart

What really is the color of your seaglass?

Below you will find over 80 named colors to help you accurately describe your sea glass and identify rare or valuable sea glass...very important when buying or selling!

This sea glass color chart has the standardized names that David put together based on:

  • Matching true colors with the colors that your computer screen shows.

  • Eliminating colors not appropriate for sea glass.

We have found a chart like this one much more helpful than using a less extensive or non-standardized color chart. Why?

Very often, the unusual colors you find cannot be categorized using a simple color chart.

Also, using your favorite names when describing the color of your sea glass can cause quite a bit of confusion or can even be misleading.

NOTE: There are so many nuances or variations in color that it is naturally impossible to match all colors to this chart exactly.
