psfponies Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Well I was sweating the last 24 hours while my batch was in the mold. I was really worried the color was gonna be this ugly greyish color. I have heard that purple tends to not come out true. But it turned out a nice shade of purple considering it was the grosses color when I poured it in the mold.Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Ultramarines are pretty stable and don't change color much. Looks like you got a really dark purple there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the base is darker to start with and I had to add more color to get it even close to a purple shade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Pomace comes in a fairly dark green correct? If you get to worrying about purple, put a hint of blue of into it. Sometimes that helps to anchor the purple. It's worked for me since someone else suggested it, but I haven't used powder purples for awhile, except maybe the grape pop. The purples, if not enough used, can tend to come out a little grayish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
