Tweaking or totally revamping the color scheme affects the ultimate presentation of a glass panel just as much as changing the color of the walls in your house. Working with glass, an additional dimension to consider is the opacity of the glass that is chosen.
The clear texture used for the border of the panel on the left works because the background glass behind the flowers is also clear, as well as very lightly textured. The color palette for the Bird-of-Paradise panel on the right reflects a request for the glass to obscure the objects stored behind the glass. A clear, textured glass on the border would not have provided enough weight to balance the strong presence of the opaque glass used inside the border.
