Coloring for candles

[brudil18]

Hello all,

I've seen lots of post before on how to color candles and if there is chart out there that will tell exactly how to make the perfect color.

Although it doesn't exist, and really is trial and error, there are things that can be very helpful in minimizing the guess work and get the color you want with less "trial" and less "error".

I know a lot of you may use color wheels, and other just try different combinations until something sticks. I found this link several weeks back that has been pretty helpful in minimizing the guess work a bit for me at least. I thought I would share it as it can be a great starting point for heading in the right direction. While it is instructions for coloring frosting used in baking, the same principles apply and it has a rather lengthy list of colors and ways to combine base colors to achieve them.

Like I said its not to be used as the perfect color matching guide, but it does give a great starting point when mixing dyes to acheive different colors.

Anyway, just thought I would share:
