The present invention relates to a continuous transparent glass sheet having the appearance of a multi-pane structure. The glass sheet includes a glass panel having opposed surfaces first and second colored bands formed on at least one of the surfaces and intersecting one another. A plurality of parallel, immediately adjacent straight walled grooves is positioned on opposed sides of the colored band, the straight walled grooves positioned parallel to the colored band. Two of the straight walled grooves are positioned immediately adjacent the colored band. A remaining portion of the surface is not covered by the colored bands, such that the colored bands contrasts with the remaining portion of the surface to simulate the appearance of a plurality of muntins in the glass panel that divide the glass panel into a number of individual panes.
