I just experimented with different botanicals using Indigo root as the "blue". Top left to right. (purple)Indigo/madder root powder, (green) indigo/gold brazilian clay. Bottom left to right. (green) indigo/annatto oil, (purple) indigo/himalayan rhubarb root oil. I unmolded when the soap was a little too soft. I was too impatient. I think the colors will stay true and not morph. Fingers crossed :)
 
Nice! Will you post photos here after curing to see if the colour stays the same?
 
Due to my excitement, I unmolded these too early so they did get quite a bit of ash on them. They don't look as nice because I rinsed them to try to get the ash off. I also cut the bottom off to see what the color looks like inside and the colors are still nice. I will definitely try these blends again.
