coloring with CP

[jasues]

Can I use both mica's and pigment with CP Just want another opinion
The really question is can I purchase basic colors and mix them using a color wheel to achieve the colors I desire. For example I have purchase a brick red but its to brownish I would like a straight red and combine it with a true blue and achieve a standard green. If that is the formula If anyone knows where i can buy true colors please let me know the company

Yes, blue and red make purple.

Blue and yellow make green.

Yellow and red make orange.

Lots of online B&B vendors sell true colorants. Hopefully more people will chime in with what they use, but these are the basic ones I use:

For a true blue, I use ultramarine blue. http://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/Pr ... lue+Powder

For a true green, I use ultramarine green http://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/Pr ... er+Pigment

For a true purple I use ultramarine violet http://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/Pr ... let+Powder

For yellow, I use yellow iron oxide: http://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/Pr ... ent+Powder or gold mica http://www.oregontrailsoaps.com/product ... 11&scat=37

For teal I use green chromium hydroxide: http://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/Pr ... ent+Powder

For red I use Colorana Bordeaux http://www.tkbtrading.com/item.php?item ... gory_id=35 and Tomato Red http://www.tkbtrading.com/item.php?item_id=199

For black I use activated charcoal http://www.amazon.com/Natures-Way-Activ ... B0006LCQ4Q

For white I use titanium dioxide http://www.oregontrailsoaps.com/product ... 11&scat=35

For orange, I use tomato paste from a tube http://www.amorebrand.com/products/tomato-paste

Oh ya...I love Colorana Bordeaux. It's the best red you'll probably get. It's on the fuscia side. Red Iron Oxide gives a great Christmas red, but unfortunately it also makes bloody-colored lather and stains bath linens. I have Queen Katherine mica but have not tried it yet. It may be a stronger red than Colorana Bordeaux.

I use all those listed by Irish Lass, plus Copper Penny for a dusky orange, Bolera for a bright orange, and Coral Reef Blue for a really nice teal, all micas. I really have a good time with the soap stable micas from TKB. Breath of Spring is a lovely pastel green. When I want to mute something or need a brown, I use brown iron oxide.

I just checked TKB and it appears Queen Katherine is no longer on their inventory.

Oregon Trails has some nice pigments. I've been happy with them.
