Building with it

Light Gray Stained Glass sits halfway between clear and gray, and it is the pane builders use when a window should read as glass rather than as colour. Its dye is the most common in the set, so it is cheap to make in the quantities a large facade needs, and it breaks like any other glass.

In practice

Light gray glass is the closest the game comes to plain tinted window glass, dimming the view without adding a colour cast. Office and modern builds use it for exactly that reason, and three separate flowers supply the dye, so the colour is easier to make in bulk than it looks.
