Hi Rebecca and Gina - I've just looked on the Aromatics & More website and see the ultramarines. Before buying them I just want to confirm that these work OK with the cold process method. I used the Violet Dye (oil based colourant) from the Soapcraft range this morning but was alarmed at the hard luridness of the colour so only about a gram went in my mix instead of two. I've just had a peep at it and I think there are going to be blue speckles in a whiteish/grey looking soap which is not as bad as the grey that I thought may result. Thanks very much for all the help. It's great. Jenny On 12/07/2010, at 4:34 AM, Rebecca Midkiff wrote: > Hi Jenny > I think the best colors for this are pink and purple ultramarine.
