Who says Brookfield's have no color? I had taken a picture of a few sapphire CREB's under some 40 watt lights and the color was so vividly manifesting itself I had to line up more of my better CREB's and take some pictures. No, in a sunlit window they do not glow like this (well - OK the chartreuse does!) - but under these light bulbs they did. In this picture I threw in a normal, light aqua CREB as a comparison piece and as a color reference. The lineup is as follows: TOP row (left to right) - Yellow Olive Green (dark), Apple Green (yes - I know - unlisted - but it looks apple to me!), 'pea' green; MIDDLE row (left to right) - sapphire blue, purple, a sapphire-ish-in-between-blue, cornflower blue BOTTOM Row (left to right) - sapphire blue, green, chartreuse

Note that some of the sapphires do not show the same color and I think this is due to the angle of the lighting (?). Note the back row does not have two cornflowers - only one. The sapphire-ish-in-between-blue is NOT the same shade as the cornflower in real life (or even close - it is close to the sapphires with a bit more aqua in it). The 'pea green' is NOT the same color as the CD 145 HGCO 'peas soup green' nor as I attempting to coin a new color term here. This is simply the color that comes to my mind when I see this piece (like the old timers used to call a piece - by the color vegetable or fruit it reminded them of). When I put it up against a pea soup green HGCO petticoat, the CREB looks like it turns into a straight green color! For picture 1 of the series: [id=50270184].
