Might be intentional, but clearly the glass shader is on the default 0.8 grey, and not fully white. Slam that boy up to white if you want clear glass.

They look fine tinted as well tho :3

Edit: Here’s what I mean. Notice on the left Principled BSDF, the Slider is not fully up, hence absorbing more light when set to transmission. The one on the right is fully white.

Experimenting with parametric spirograph curves in geometry nodes. Contrary to the plastic toy, you can add as many rotating circles as you want. Node tree included for whoever is interested.
