The word "dichroic", pronounced Dye-Cro-Ick, is derived from two Greek roots, "di" for two and "chroma" for color. So "dichroic" literally means "two-colored."You may hear dichroic glass referred to as "dichro" for short . Another misconception is that dichroic glass is the same as fused glass or refers to the entire fused glass movement. Though fused glass or warm glass may incorporate dichroic glass elements; doing so is not a requirement. Dichroic glass can be used as an element in glass blowing, bead making and of course glass fusing. The most distinctive feature of dichroic glass is that it seems to have more than one color, especially when viewed from different angles.
