I have a customer that wants a letter windowed from the inside. Her colors are silver and black. The black does not show up well but would like to incorporate it. Any fast ideas? Should I use silver for the letters, then outline in black and outline the black again in silver? Really want this window to look good as it is my first (uptown) viewing!
Thanks,
Mary

The silver will show up much better than the black, but if the glass is tinted you won't be able to ready anything very well. Even without the tint, there will be a slightly green haze over the silver because of the coloring in the glass.

If you are bound by those color choices you just have to "make do" and see how it turns out.

Why not talk them into lettering the outside of the window?? Then you can do pretty much what they want with the color choices they picked. Glass looks really nice when lettered from the inside, but if you're dealing with tinted windows, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do!

Good luck!
