    Mark - I've never made an actual gray scale value chart but I have
    made test color charts - ie, lots of the old Thompson leaded colors
    laid out in grids with each color on copper/flux/silver/gold so as to
    compare the effect of the metal/surface on the color at issue and
    then I use a simple quilter's device to look at each color to
    determine its "value" - that is, it's relation to other colors on
    the gray scale so as to assess what colors to use in what
    combinations.  I know that the fact that we are dealing with glass
    and that light responds differently to glass surfaces than it does
    to fabric surfaces may make my process ineffective but it has worked
    for me.  Are you planning to do grey scale test strips??
