When i add the oil to the colorant to mix it do I take it from the main batch or just add and don't worry. I am super fattening any way the lye ratio want effect the finished product ?

Lye at trace is still very active and will take whatever it wants. There is no guarantee that any particular oil or butter will end up as your superfat. Add everything right up front. I prefer a superfat at 7%, as my skin finds anything below that drying. Since the oil that you are adding to the colors is pretty small, I wouldn't worry about it.
