If your soap is very light in color as is, then try white china clay at 1 tsp. per lb. of soap. Clay mixes better if a very small amount of water has been added so it hydrates first.

Cocoa works great! I made a small test batch with 25 oz of oil. After bringing it to trace I poured about 2/3 of the soap into the mold. I mixed 1/2 teaspoon of cocoa into the remaining soap then poured it into the mold and swirled... I really liked how it turned out.

I've also tried rose hip powder, but I did not think it worked well for swirling... it was kind of speckled and messy looking. I've heard activated charcoal is good too, but I haven't tried it myself... yet :)

Yes, activated charcoal will give you gray to black, depending how much you use.
