chuck_35550 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I'm using the recommended 1/2 tsp pp of oils and the colors aren't real bright or deep (violet, lemon-lime) and used td 1 tsp pp oils and vanilla stabilizer (1 tsp per ounce fo). For those of you familiar with these colorants; how far can you go before the suds discolor? TIA Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in KY Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) I thought this was a scent question. You might want to ask again under a different heading. I know I've seen color discussed but with the way the search is working you can't find answers that way. I would love to know the answer because I prefer white suds.

Kitn Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 The TD would mute the colors somewhat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Thanka Kitn. I usually td the entire batch to whiten and then color. The soap looks better every day (I'll try to post some pics) and I think its just the weirdness of adding a colorant that initially doesn't look like lemon-lime or purple until it goes through saponification. I did a spoon swirl with the three Mardi Gras colors and it was a lot of fun but everything looked school bus yellow with a puke green when poured, lol.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-GRAN-ONES Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 sometimes you can be pleasantly surprised when you unmold and cut your soap..i have had soap I thought was going to be really ugly colors, but when done, i was really happy..I have never used Celestial Colors..so I am no help on that question..

Oceangazer1 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I have 3 kits from Celestial and so far they are great. I don't get much of a brown from the cappuccino, so I use cocoa powder for a nice rich brown, otherwise, I'm happy with the colors. When I initially pour the cp, before the gel stage they can take on a whacky color, but turn to the exact color I had wanted after gel stage. hth's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
