You know what they say - a lie is twice around the world before the truth has got it's shoes on.
Debunking myths is not easy.

Is it just the term that is wrong? In that it wouldn't necessarily be at the end of the day, because the kilns didn't have to be turned off. Or were there pieces made with leftover colours of glass that were not part of a production run...

Hope that makes sense...I'm just wondering if pieces made with "leftovers" are common, but the term "end of day" is wrong...

There were undoubtedly experiments. Colours are often not applied from a pot unless there is a largish run. They are often applied using coloured blocks. This http://lustrousstone.co.uk/cpg/displayimage.php?pid=899 looks like blue glass with applied white frit but it's actually colourless glass with the tiniest amount of blue applied from a block about the size of a tealight

Thanks Lustrousstone, that's interesting to know.
