I am working on pricing today. I don't necessarily "measure" how much colorant I use, so I'm having a little trouble figuring cost per pound of soap for colorants. I know this may be a tall request, but can anyone offer any direction on how to figure the amount/cost per pound of the colorants listed in the subject line?

Here is what I would do. Figure out how much each color costs including shipping. Convert the weight to grams. Then use 1/2 gram as a general rule of thumb for cost.
