Colouring glass (without a texture)?

[Jonesi]

Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere, I did a search and couldn't find what I was looking for...

Changing the colour of glass....I know you have to edit... is it the stdmattdiffcoef values? (and have blend?)

But change them to what...what I mean is, what numbers represent what colour? I thought/think it's summat to do with RGB values, but they're 3 figure numbers in Paintshop, not 1 unit or decimal places...

Like say I wanted a near clear frosted white...or a grey tint, how would i get those colours without going through every combination of decimal places possible to try and find the right colour...

I read summat about having a colour swatch in simpe but I haven't got one..

The easier way to change the color is to go to the Categorized Properties tab, where you can choose a color from a dropdown menu and don't need to try to figure out the correct numeric values.

Or if you really want to know how they're calculated then RGiles gives a good explanation here:

Look for the line that starts with Pick a color that you like in your graphics program... ;)
But like IB says you don't really need to use that method anymore :D

Oo the drop down menu is good enough for me, but I'll have a nose through RGiles thread too! Thanks :D
