Blending Colors for Melt & Pour

If you were wondering how to create other colors for your melt and pour soaps beyond the primary red, yellow and blue, here is a list that will help you to create new colors for your palette:

Aqua - add blue to green

Gray - add small amount of black

Coral - add yellow to pink

Pink - add small amount of red

Purple - add blue to red

Light Tan - add black to orange

Teal Green - add black to green

Dusty Rose - add small amount of black to red

Magenta - add red to wine

Orange - add yellow to red

Wine - add red to purple

Brown - add blue to orange

Lime - add green to yellow

Moss Green - add red to green

Turquoise - add green to blue

Adding small amounts at a time helps you determine the color you're actually getting. Remember you can always add MORE color, but you can't take the color out once you add it!
