I made a test batch last night with dehydrated powdered carrot leaf. It made a pretty green speckle. It held its colour through the process. Not sure yet if it will stay green or be scratchy. Next time I have carrot greens I will dehydrate and make an oil infusion to see how that works.

It's now been two weeks, and the carrot leaf is not scratchy at all. The soaps on the curing rack (in darkness) have maintained the exact same colour. The sliver I have by the kitchen sink has taken on a slightly khaki cast but still green. I think the sunlight has done that. So it seems to be stable with lye, but photosensitive.
 
Absolutely! Although we just bought a juicer and my hubs is super excited so I might have to get my carrot greens into the dehydrator before he sees them.
