Angel91805 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 GRRRRRRRRRRR Will someone please tell me if, with Select Shades, they will be an entirely different color after it gels??I have a 4 pound batch of Clean Cotton in the oven right now...and it is the prettiest shades of two-tone brown you have ever seen! Unfortunately, the color is *supposed* to be Deep Ocean!! GRRRRR. 1 part Purple Violet, 1/2 part Aquamarine and 1 part Marmalade. Now....can anyone tell me why it's brown and not blue and if it will change? Otherwise I'm gonna call it Clean Flannel! (I had a sleeping bag once with plaid flannel brown lining!) I SO wanted blue!!!GRRRRRDonna(Excuse my dark ugly oven!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugenia Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Select Shades are usually pretty true. It should change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Give it time. Its cool to see how the color will change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruina Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 bumping this up to find out if my Deep Ocean is gonna stay brown. Wish I had found this post before soaping it yesterday. DARN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruina Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 A most excellent idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 As much as I love my SS, I don't always get the color I am going for. Hopefully Angel91085 and Ruina do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel91805 Posted May 27, 2008 Author Share Posted May 27, 2008 Stayed brown. And now I use Celestial Colors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Sure you got equal parts of those colors going? Course I went with a true blue (the second shade) and got a mint green from it instead of light blue, but at the right angle it might look a little blue. Purples always go a dingy brown or gray on me, but usually come back around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kymber Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Select Shades go wonky on me every now and then................I really do prefer my Celestial Colors. Gelling usually helps the colors become a little true'r so I force gel on all of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DONNAMAC Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Well, it is still very pretty. I love those swirls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aprillee Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 It will change. I flipped out when I chose this color for a batch of soap, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecandlespastore Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I usually get the color I was going for 95% of the time. The other 5%, not so much:laugh2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kymber Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Well the Celestial Colors Cocoa turned a lovely deep purple for me....no brown there anywhere..LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruina Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Stayed brown. And now I use Celestial Colors!I was afraid of that. What in heck am I gonna call this soap now? I had the same idea as you. The scent is Clean (Dlish type). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBE Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Where do you buy these colors?I get my Peacock Colors from Southern Soapers. In my experience, the colors have stayed true, with gel or no gel (I don't gel). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidsngarden Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I've used Labcolor or true tone colors from BB and many morph or disappear if gelled.Same with a few micas, but I have better luck with them and UM's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
