[angel2211]

This is my first CP attempt it's 11.15pm no shops are open and i forgot colouring. I've mixed my lye, melted my oils just waiting for their temp to drop now.. I need liquid colouring.. Will food colouring work????

Any help would be great i'm just about ready to add it...

Thanks

Shaz!

Try some cocoa powder.

Yes, you can use food coloring. Be prepared for some possible fading and/or morphing of the colors, though. Blue, for example, will eventually turn purple in CP.

Thank you both for your replies. I had to add the colour so i figured it more then likely might not turn out anyway so i did in fact add food colouring. I was hoping for purple so i added red with blue on a 3:1 ratio. Then when i had it all sorted out got to my computer to post pics to read the reply to this message that blue will eventually go purple.. I just sat here and laughed. Lord only knows what colour mine will turn out then...hehe

Not sure if it will turn out but i sure did have fun experimenting.. Hubby is cringing already...lol

If you do HP, you can use food coloring and it won't morph on ya. It will fade like crazy though.
