After much internal struggle and trying to figure out what soaps I will need in the near future, I decided to go with the "Mineral Autumn" color palette. I also chose to scent this soap in Applejack & Peel to go with the colors I selected from the palette. I decided to go with orange, red, and yellow.
Color Palette:
Here are the colors I chose to go with:
For the Orange I mixed Orange Heaven mica with Orange Sorbet mica
both from The Conservatorie
For the Red I mixed Merlot Satin mica with Electric Bubblegum colorant
Merlot Satin from The Conservatorie and Electric Bubblegum from Bramble Berry
Last, for the Yellow I chose Yellow Vibrance Mica from Nurture Soap Supplies
After mixing, they looked like this:

Added some snow glitter... pretty!
Last, but not least.. here is a picture of the soap loaf unmolded and read for cutting and then the final product in my front yard in natural light.
Looks kind of like fire doesn't it?
Probably the prettiest soap I've made and it smells fabulous. A great first edition for my fall line.
Thank you all for joining me on this color challenge journey. I welcome questions if you have any. Best of luck to all entrants. I had so much fun making this soap and trying hard to match the color swatch. I may not have the best eye for color matching, but I think I did a bang up job with only one try and also working with the colors I already had.
This red is by far the best red I've come up with so far in all of my soaping. The orange could have stood out a bit more, but I think I did very well matching it with the palette. I hoped the yellow would darken up to a darker gold color and it sure did. So I'm absolutely thrilled with how this soap came out. =)
Until next time!
