dichroic color change?

Hi,

I've read that dichroic glass will change to a different color when heated. Is there any way (other than experimentation!) to determine what this color will be? Does it depend on the temperature the glass is heated to?

Thanks!
Michelle

I figure it out when I buy it. But, I did buy a bunch of second-hand scrap once and I never figured out how to tell ahead of time, short of expirementation. If there is a difference in how it turns out due to temperature, I never noticed it.

Have fun, fun, fun!

generally, cbs will shift one color on their chart. i forget whether it is up or down, but their website explains it.
