ForHisGlory Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I am loving Hazelnut Espresso from BCS. I mixed equal parts of blue and brown liquid dye from NG. Just the color I was looking for!Thought I'd share for the color challenged - like myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane42 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 OHHHHH, where were you on SUNDAY?!?!?! I was trying to get that color and I ended up with.....well, let's just say we could not come up with a scent that matched THAT color....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bells4shells Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 HAHAHAHA! Brown is the worst color for me to get right! I'm trying tonight actually and it's more red than brown. argh. I did the orange and purple together, then realized the purple was too light, so I added some black... still red looking, so I added MORE black and the color is.. well... I don't even know what it would be called. Let's hope it looks better out of the mold than it does right now!Speaking of which... do you use liquid colors? And is there an index for all the abbreviations you girls/guys use? I have no idea what a DH is or BCS or NG! Shed some light pweeeety pwease?

I haven't done that, but it seems like a good idea.I use blocks and liquid. For the abbreviations you can go to the Fragrance section and at the beginning it will give you the supplier list of abbreviations.For mine - NG is Nature's GardenBCS - BitterCreek South.

bells4shells Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 My brown actually came out really nice -- more of a taupe color, but it's beautiful! I'll be back to edit this with the link to the images I'm going to post. http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61374 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ah-soy Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Here's a neat color chart that I think is for gel candles, but I've used it for my soy/para blend with some success...I finally bit the bullet and ordered tons of premixed colors from Lonestar...for the most part, I've been really happy with them, but it was a pricey purchase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
