The square on square plate includes six different types/color of glass. Each time that a cyan or light cyan touches a French vanilla there is a telltale line of reaction.

On first glance it appears as though this could be a glass application of an interactive color study modelled after the work of Joseph Albers. Albers believed that color can only be understood through experience and that each observer must train the eyes.
Albers believed that color is relative to its surroundings and can be deceiving. The challenge with glass is to be a careful observer and to consider whether the glass really appears to be a different color (cyan in the upper left compared to the cyan in the third square to its right,) or has it chemically be altered using heat and proximity?
