R.S. Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Given the earthiness of the fragrance, when I was coloring my candles I went with a beige/sand sort of color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arlene Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 And yet another vote for Dark Purple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leenabug Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I do mine caramel colored. But as everyone says........the smell reminds them of a "head" shop.......so the dark purple would probably be more legit! lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimdles Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 WOW, this has really been enlightening! I am testing patchouli right now and had gone with brown (which is blah) so am glad to hear of purples and greens! Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I went with brown. Smells so earthy and dirt like that I colored it an earthy brown. Now mixing it with other FOs would make a difference. If I mixed with say lavender I would color it lavender, sandalwood would be a light brown, honey patch is amber or honey color, raspberry patch would be red berry colored, etc.I like the idea of purple thou. I just love purple but already have some purple and lavender candles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Actually Patchouli is associated with being an aphrodisiac for some, anti-depressant, some say attracks money, hippy favorite lol. I color black (probably wouldn't work for palm and soy that well) but also green, no color is a bad color. Even orange works for uplifting as Patch can be that too. It also has relaxing qualities to it too.Guess you could go with flower power bright neon/colors too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
