Hi Gina
I had in mind a soft, pale lavender shade for lavender soap. When I mixed the
violet colour with the oil it was more blue than purple and so different to
what I had in mind that I didn't want to use all the quantity I had mixed which
was a heaped 3gm spoon. It's hard to remember exactly - just a feeling that it
wasn't right for a lavender soap. The speckles in the soap are a dark blue.
The grey look is probably because I used so little.
