Can anyone please recommend a primary red colorant for cp soap?

[kbapril23]

I am having trouble finding a true primary red colorant for cold process soap. Can anyone please recommend some good ones and where I might find them? Thanks so much for your help.

It seems to me that first, you must search for The Holy Grail. Once you find the Grail look inside. There you will find the perfect red for CP. In other words, I'm with you on this one. I end up with shades of pink. The link is from another discussion on here about the topic.

Amy Warden from Great Cakes recommends Red Lake Dye #30 or Tomato Red from Nature's Garden.

From a Soaping101 video I got that to get a perfect red, you should mix 3 parts Electric Pink mica to one part Red Vibrance mice.

From another video that I can't remember who made, I seem to recall the person mixed a hot pink with a dash of merlot mica to get a really nice red.

Red Liquid colour and Australian red reef clay mixed together. I buy my supplies here in Oz.

Relle, you could make a fortune supplying us with your reds, they are always so gorgeous. Anything more than red liquid color you can tell us?
