Peach Colour?


Recommended Posts

Ok ,i feel like an idiot asking this.

I made georgia peach candles yesterday, and figured peach is light orange right. So i used 2 drops of liquid dye in a pound of wax, and well, they turned out yellowy orange. Not quite what i was hoping for. Does anyone know how to make a decent peach colour? I can not find peach dye chips or liquid dyes on my regular suppliers site.

I use color chips called Cantaloupe. They are a perfect peach shade. When I don't have those I mix pink and orange and hope for the best :). It's so hard to get that perfect peach shade without going over into the 'really orange' category. I'd make a small amount and pour it on a white sheet of paper to see if you have the color you're looking for...

Thanks guys, I have orange and red liquid dyes so I will play with them tonight. Worse case scenerio, my supplier has Melon chips, i never thought to check under another type of fruit name for the colour :)
