Mexitan Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I've been struggling for quite some time for the perfect color for mango papaya. I want a peach-ish orange color. Have tried many shades of orange (looks like a pumpkin to me), have tried peach dye...too pink. Also accidently found a great color for gold. I use liquid dyes. What does everyone use for mango papaya, and how do you acheive it? I have a mandarin candle, which is a beautiful orange/red, but want a different color for the mango. Any help would be so appreciated.Sandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debscent Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I go a bit heavy on the peach dye (Candles & Supplies) and I get a beautiful orange-red (the first time it was an accident, but it worked well and I've continued to keep it that color).

Sharon in KY Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I use AH/RE dyes.. One drop red and 1 drop orange in 4 lbs soy wax. Looks great to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramaroa Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I find orangey colours the hardest to keep consistent each time. Always too red, too yellow, too something and then I get it to a shade I like and can never make it the same again. Grrr! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
