Overview
TAG Fade to Black is a striking borosilicate color known for dramatic shifts as it’s worked and flame struck, making it a favorite when you want movement and depth instead of a flat, single-tone dark.
The manufacturer describes it as a unique striking color that can flow through shades of black, blue, green, and white as the glass is flame struck, and notes that this is a refined version of earlier experimental batches with a recipe they call their most colorful, stable, and compatible yet.
Why this color
Fade to Black is all about range: you can build pieces that read deep and dark at first glance, then reveal blues, greens, and lighter highlights as the strike develops.
It’s a strong choice for artists who like reactive behavior and want a color that rewards heat control, cycling, and thoughtful placement to bring out multiple looks in a single piece.
Best uses
- Striking-focused pendants, marbles, and solid work where color travel is the goal
- Accent sections and overlays that you can strike for blue, green, and white variation
- Surface decoration where controlled heatwork can pull out multiple shades
- Statement details paired with stable opaques or clear to highlight the strike
