What color(s) for BCS Peppercorn??

[Michi]

Ok I just rec'd a sample of this FO (Thanks Danielle ) and OMG I just have to make some soap for my man and my daughter's man with this-it is soooo dang yummy!!

I received a bar of HP in this scent from one of the swaps I was in and she did hers red and tan, but I don't have either of those colors.

I'm just wondering if any of you have used this and what colors come to mind-more manly colors preferbly.

Also, is there a way to make brown from primary colors? I don't think I have any REAL red, I have a violet red, and orange red, a bright blue, and a navy blue, green, yellow, fuschia, orange, gold mica, but I think that's about it.

Any ideas??

I have some but haven't used it yet - you could try

coloring it with spices ( cinn, nutmeg and clove makes soap different shades of brown), they give a nice "earthy" effect.

When I think Peppercorn I think grey and black. I could be thinking of something else, but didn't someone post a color wheel, or color mixing chart, recently?

Tan or a muted, earthy gold. Or with a warm brown swirl. Think earthy colors.

ETA: To make brown, you can mix green and red. Or red, yellow and blue if you don't have any green.

There are red/pink peppercorns too. When I do it, I keep it natural and thread just a little bit of a deep red oxide through it...then add poppy seeds. That way , I have some black, some red & some natural white to go with it too.

midnight blue with a black mottle lol.

Hey Scented, how do you make mottled soap??? Or is that the ricing you were referring to...
