Why so many colors?   When glass manufacturers first began iridizing glass, they used a clear glass over which they applied an orange spray which we have come to call marigold--although they used different names then. This color worked very well to brighten the interior of the rather dark homes of the time. To satisify changing markets, they then began applying the Carnival iridescence to darker glass, amethyst/purple, blue, and green, which collectors refer to as "vivid" colors.
