Claim 7:
8. The method of claim 7, wherein the method further comprises:
defining a color profile for the color gradient for light reflected by the discontinuous dichroic layer;
identifying a distribution of the partially overlapping layers to apply to the second region of the planar surface of the glass component and on the opaque layer to form the discontinuous dichroic layer such that the light reflected by the discontinuous dichroic layer corresponds to the color profile; and
the opaque ink layer comprises at least one colored ink layer, such that the discontinuous dichroic layer and the at least one colored ink layer combine to absorb a portion of light incident on the discontinuous dichroic layer, while the color profile remains visible.
