Although not as rare as Heisey Black, Pastel Blue was also thought of as an experimental color, made for special orders or testing on the market. Similar to some shades of Limelight or Zircon, it has more of a blue tint. Limited in supply, this color is also a highly prized collectible.
Canary (1898-1900 and 1922-1925)
Canary is a greenish-yellow color. Note that it is the same color that collectors call "Vaseline". This color can be distinguished in that glass will glow bright yellow under a black light. Look for Canary in the early patterns made by the company. In the 1922-25 period, the color was released in limited supplies and special releases.
Cobalt (1932-1941, and possibly after the war)
Heisey's Cobalt blue was also called Stiegel Blue by the company. Like all cobalt blue, this is a dark, deep blue, the same as that found on English Blue & White, Flow Blue and Dutch Delft.
Clear Crystal (1896-1957)
Heisey's magnificent clear crystal was always included in Heisey's production.
Frosted Crystal (1942-1957)
Heisey produced frosted crystal relatively late, from WWII to the cease of operations.
Dawn (1955-1957)
This is a smoky gray to dark gray color. In some of the literature it is referred to as charcoal. It is said to show a slight dark purple (like amethyst) when held up to natural light (compare to Imperial's gray). This was a late color introduced in the era of Heisey's demise. Despite the lateness of introduction, this color commands relatively high value from collectors due to its popularity.
Emerald (1896-1900 and 1922-1925)
As the name implies, Emerald is a dark deep green. Note that it was darker in the earliest manifestations, usually found in combination with gold rimming. In its later forms it was somewhat lighter, but still darker than the company's "Moongleam" green.
Flamingo (1925-1935)
This color was very popular throughout the height of Art Deco influence on American
