Grumpy Girl Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I have a really great scent, but I'm having trouble mixing the right color, and I can't figure it out. I want the same color as the alcohol, Hpnotiq. Yesterday, I tried half an aqua dye chip and a few drops of royal blue liquid dye, and ended up with a light seafoamy looking blue/green. I guess you could say I'm color challenged on this one, but I really want to achieve the icy blue above. This FO rocks, and my best friend is a real fan of this liquor and I want to suprise him with a Hpnotiq wickless candle for his birthday next week.

SatinDucky Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Looks like a straight turquoise color to me. Though I don't know what colors to make it....whatever you add to the blue is going to be in miniscule amounts probably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaritamama Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Personally, I would use white from a dye block, and little drops of royal blue until I was happy with the color. I don't think there should be any green in there..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3-boys-4-me Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I don't know how to tell ya to achieve that color, but I LOVE Hpnotiq! It is so good. Shot of Hpnotiq, shot of Coconut Rum, Ice and Pineapple Juice. It's too die for! Not to shabby straight either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there should be any green in there.....Since there are other very effective ways of doing it, I would suggest avoiding that white dye block. It's a pigment block and adds wick clogging stuff to your candle. There is a turquoise color block to make things easy for you, and if the wax isn't a pre-blend I think you'll probably want some vybar or UA or gloss poly in there to opacify it.
