They were all the same color , but some are a bit lighter than others. I always thought this would have been a super nice bottle had the embossing been on the side of the bottle and not the bottom of it . I love its crudeness  . < Message edited by L C -- 11/30/2008 9:59:11 PM > (in reply to glass man) Post #: 3
