countrychunkie Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 How can I achieve this color? I think it would be orange and pink right? Almost like the color of the inside of a pink grapefruit but not as deep redish as that. Can anyone help me?Thanks,Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logcabinmomma Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 With my liquid dyes, it's red and yellow, more yellow than red. Just play around with it and drip it onto a white surface to test the color.-Kristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeAndMyPuppyDog Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 It's a peach with a hint too much red. Go with red and yellow and make a very light orange. That's peach. Now go a tiny bit more on the red.It's all by feel and look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blazerina Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 This thread may be old by now but I thought I'd toss in how I 'ended' up with coral, lol. I used a peice of Gold in one batch and had some of the batch left,(used it for a deep yellow on my Pineapple scented Monkey sharped tarts) then had used a bit of Ruby in another batch to make pink...and had some of that batch left. I put these together and it came out a gorgeous true coral. Scented it with a tropical fo + some of the Pineapple from before was now mixed in, and an Ocean fo... poured into an assorted shell candy type mold and I call them Tropical Sunset. I love this hobby! Hubby don't like the smell, lol... but I do so who cares, muwahahahahaaa!!By the way, these were very non-precise wax color block type of dyes. But if you can figure it out, I suspect the intensity of the gold and ruby - even used at minor amts... will result in the same coral for you. I only work with a lb of wax at a time but it still diluted enough that neither one over bared the other, if that makes any sense. Ok, i'll stop rambling now.:embarasse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
