What's in a color anyways


Look how hideous.........was going for a light purple since I'm a bit heavy handed in the color department I went real light. Lo & behold we have GREY soap. Grey like wet cement, cold concrete, gunmetal, a dirty pigeon but nothing like the lavender it's supposed to be. Maybe I'll describe it as off white. Reckon it'll fly?

Chile please. Etsy loves gray anything, so it'll be a big hit, lol.

Anyway, it's how it feels and smells that counts-at least that what my customers tell me:)

Well, it really isn't pale purple or lavender, but it's no a bad colour either!
And I'm sure the scent is brilliant!

The small pic looked pale gray, but when I enlarged it, it did look pretty white to me.

Keep in mind that I don't have a sense of smell, but for scents, I prefer colored soaps because that's the part of the soap I get to enjoy.

However, other people tell me they care more about the scent. As long as it isn't an awful perfume type soap, they really don't care what the color is.

Who knows, there may be people out there who like scented soap and not even want much color, so I really wouldn't worry about it. :)

I would rather have a soap in its natural color, than to add color for the sake of color. I think it looks lovely and the smell would make me forget the color anyway. :)

Oh, I think you're disappointed because it isn't what you expected. However, I don't mind the color at all! I think I would market it as "Lavender Chert" -(a type of flint rock that is often light gray...who know?)Or even "Lavender Flint" to be less technical. ~Becky

Make soaps with colors. What ingredient in handmade soaps tends to turn the water a light blue?
I have been ordering different handmade soaps and some leave the bath water a light blue color even though the soap color isn't light blue.

The colors seem to come through fine. Give yourself to space to experiment and be patient with the results. You're onto something good here. Keep with it!

Hi there,

I would also add that trying different color mixes and being bold in experimenting often leads to solid breakthroughs. Making soap is truly an art form, and you have to allow for nuances and for surprises along the way.
