The only type of dye I've ever used is the dye chips and there's maybe 1 or 2 of the colors out of ALL the different colors there are that will have the specs in the bottom of the jar, every single other color blends in very well with the wax. And with those 2 colors, the specs are very minimal. Very easy to use too, and I get nice rich, bold colors with them too. HTH! :smiley2: -Hannah
