The interference colors are mica-based colors with certain properties that
interfere with the normal prismatic qualities of mica so that certain colors
are highlighted. Put simply, they look and act like a transparent pearl, but
play with the light and throw off color with the most mysterious effects. We
make these in Violet, Blue, Green and Red.
Imagine the colors that shoot out of a fire opal, except each color is
isolated. For example, Interference Violet goes on like an almost colorless
glaze but the violet "fire" picks up and reflects light, particularly on
dark surfaces. These interference colors work best in glazes as they lose
their opalescent sheen when mixed too much with other colors.
