Colour plays a central role in Mtarfa glass designs. Deep blue remains one of the most popular shades, often linked with Mediterranean sea tones. Amber and gold hues appear in many vases, giving a warm appearance under light. Green shades, ranging from pale to emerald, are common in decorative bowls. Multi-colour blends create marbled effects, with streaks running through the glass. These patterns form during the molten stage, as coloured rods are mixed into clear glass. The studio uses metal oxides to achieve these tones, with cobalt producing blue and copper creating green. Each batch may show slight variation in shade, adding to the handmade feel. Customers often choose colours that match home décor, with neutral tones gaining interest in recent years. Seasonal trends influence production, with brighter colours appearing more often in summer collections.
