Regarding the white glass wall tiles...

11 years ago

Is there a way to ensure that there's a slight blue (or other) cast to the white glass tiles by, say, maybe coloring the material that the tile is adhered to the wall??
I like the blue effect, but don't want to rely on the reflecting of the wall color to create that.
Thanks.

Great question!
Color is the response of the eye and brain to light. Objects do not have a color; it is the light reflected from it that generates color.
Therefore, the color you want to achieve will directly be reflected by the surrounding objects.
Wall color is not your only option to create a bluish hue:
-Grout may be selected in a blue. The StarGlass grout comes in a pale blue.
-Lighting may be selected using Natural (3500K-4100K) or Cool (5000K-6500K) color
-Glass for the enclosure may be selected in Starfire which is lead-free, low-iron and is clear, not green like regular glass (expect a 20% premium for Starfire)
-Floor color may be selected in a blue or with blue hues to help reflect that color to the surrounding area

The client for this project did not want the more contemporary bluish hue in this bath, therefore the lighting is Warm White 2700K. By simply changing the lighting to 4100K this bath would have a very different look, much closer to what you are seeking. Perhaps we should have shot the photos with both lighting to show the amazing difference just from changing the light bulb color...

Thank you again for a great question and to prompt a possible new process for our completed photos.
