Let your brilliance shine through

The Vanceva® color studio offers thousands of transparent or translucent glass colors—giving architects and designers more creative freedom with glass than ever before. Combining foundational colors produces a broad spectrum of colors and moods that are otherwise unachievable using stock selections of glass, including transparent, translucent, and opaque options to create the desired tone and intensity.

The system is based on a foundational palette of 16 basic colors that can be combined in up to four layers to produce custom-colored glass. Each Vanceva color has been assigned a four-digit number, derived from the combination and order of the foundational color layers. When Vanceva color interlayers are combined with tinted or reflective glass, the design possibilities are nearly limitless.



 

Foundation colors

Similar to the CMYK color system most often used in printing, Vanceva’s foundation palette consists of eight basic colors available in two light transmission levels of pink, blue, and grey—allowing architects, designers, and glass fabricators to layer several different color interlayers together, in different intensity levels, to create thousands of color possibilities.

Specialty colors

You can also choose from very concentrated colored pigments in a single interlayer to add brilliant hues to laminated glass.

 

Translucent colors

With the low light transmittance of Vanceva Polar White, the medium light transmittance of Vanceva Arctic Snow, or the beautifully frosted high light transmission of Vanceva Cool White, you can create ambience and elegance through translucency and opacity. Or with Vanceva Illusion White, fade from medium translucence to full transparency, creating compelling effects that draw the eye. Click here to discover our Vanceva White Collection

Solid colors

Vanceva® Polar White (color F) and Absolute Black (color G) interlayers are solid colors that can be combined with any other color selection to make that color near opaque, while at the same time creating completely different looks on each side of the glass.
