Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing colored glass 1, in which at least one powdery and/or sandy raw glass material is melted. The invention further relates to glass 1 produced according to said method. According to the invention, finished nanoparticles 2 made of at least one metal are mixed with the raw glass material and subsequently the mixture is melted together. The glass 1 according to the invention comprises nanoparticles 2 made of at least one metal and exhibits a dichroism that is dependent on whether light is reflected or transmitted by the glass 1. The glass 1 according to the invention is thus colored and changes its color depending on whether visible light is reflected or transmitted.
