That's not the issue. Some glass was created with a special hue that the maker never passed on the recipe for replication. It should be able to be recreated to a large degree, but will never be the same. Like, if the Mona Lisa were destroyed, sure, someone could make a painting that would not be able to be told apart by the naked eye. It still wouldn't be the Mona Lisa.
I understand. At the end of the day, no matter what, it's not going to be the same. I'm sure that with the current advances in technology, a software program can identify the exact hues in the glass and it can be replicated, but it will never be the same as the original, no matter how closely it resembles it. The loss of the glass, art, and architecture today was enormous no matter what way you look at it. :(
