I used the ultra clear MP soap. I'll take a photograph tomorrow and post it, if I have time. It really looked more like I was using my black oxide (in liq. glycerin) when I started dropping it in. I went ahead and worked with it. It came to be a dark, transparent green after using quite a bit more of the color. I used that dark color in sheets, put inside of what I thought was going to be a lighter, bluer version for the transparency. I mixed a few drops of blue dye with the green, as I had expected it to be more blue than green. When I cut the soap, it was grey - not green, not blue.. gray. Although not the colors I planned when I began, or even expected when I poured it, the soap turned out very nice. This is what I LOVE about MP, and the type soaps I do. Most of the time, the soaps I least expect to like, are my favorites when I cut into them. I just get so proud of myself when I cut my soaps, as they are always better than expected.
BTW, when I got my order, I had forgotten that I had ordered this color. The only thing on the label was the word, Oceana. I thought... could this be a fragrance sample? I couldn't smell anything, so I put it on my finger! HA! BIG BLACK STAIN. After a lot of washing, the black turned a turqoise-ish blue color and a light came on! This is a color!! HA! What an idiot. I did, however, remember the color change when I was having the gray problem, so thought it would change to that color when mixed with something else.

Do I put this whole bottle of color in and then expect something nice, or am I wasting my soap? Frustrating...
