Fire and Ice Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I just got the scent in and want to pour the containers this weekend but I need to know what color. Right now, I have a lot of brown candles so I'm hoping NOT to go that route but I've no idea what to color it? Thanks for your input, Fire:cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandgirl Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I would say don't color it or chose a creamy off white color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firstlady Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 same here, no color because the oil its self makes my wax a little creamy / off white color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire and Ice Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 Thank You! See now I would have done the very wrong thing and colored it brown! LOL!:embarasse . The faintest of Ivory color sounds great! I can do that, gang. You guys are awesome! Thanks so much for the needed help! Fire:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accents Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I use some yellow with just a little brown, almost a butterscotch color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amyp Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I don't color mine. The color of the oil is great. Sell a ton of this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Dallas_Texas_Dean Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I use a little liquid Golden Honey in mine. Not sure if you have seen it, but there was a thread on this somewhere on CT if I remember correctly...maybe it will help as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 My creme brulee fo is fairly yellow and gives the uncolored wax just the right touch of color, IMO. So color me another chandler who doesn't color her creme brulee candles. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFTS Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I used a smidge of brown, like 1 drop in a 3 lb pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silkysoycreations Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I used a smidge of brown, like 1 drop in a 3 lb pot.I have found when I do that with my coffee color in a large amount of wax it come out creme/ivory...is that what happens with brown? I tried to make brown with my coffee color and it came out a brown/green color...didn't look good at all. Guess coffee and brown are different?!

mharries Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I color mine an ivory as well. Sometimes I add a tad of brown & yellow to give it a more creamy appearance. The picture above of the real thing is too yellow for a candle for my taste. I asked around before I colored it & everyone I talked too said they'd expect creme brulee to be an ivory'ish color, more vanilla looking.

wookie130 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 For Creme Brulee, I've always used 2 chips of the "maize" dye chips by Reddig-Glo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynnem Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 I use a light dab of vanilla colorant for my Creme Brulee candles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
