ubure Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 How do I get a real nice cappuccino, caffe latte brown? Any dye recs or mixing ideas? My brown always looks dirty and not yummy:sad2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillary Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I use concentrated liquid dyes. I found if I use a few drops per lb of the brown (not sure off hand how many drops), then a touch of yellow, it seems to give it a nice rich tone.

Kelly Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I could be wrong but I think BitterCreek carries a "cappucino" block dye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candleran Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 This project suggests brown and plum to get a coffee color:http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/cr_home_accessories/article/0,1789,HGTV_3255_4932665,00.htmlIt also uses cappuccino brulee scent, which sounds really good!Candleranhttp://www.candle-making-secrets.com/candles/blog/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubure Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 Thank you guys - I will try all this (I have in fact tried some drops brown with ivory and a bit cream, but still too dirty lokking)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
