I'm about to place an order with BB, and have been wanting to do something in a coconut milk soap with a layer that's colored Lime Green. Anyone have any suggested Mica blends to get close to that color so I can add them to this order?

Thanks!

I would go with tropical green and add more yellow if need be. http://www.brambleberry.com/Tropical-Gr ... P4350.aspx

Hmmm....I wonder what would happen if I used Calendula and Nettle infused in the oil for that layer as natural colorants...so many potential experiments, so little cash. :lol:

Unrefined palm is VERY orange. Used in a small amount it will give you yellow. Calendula infused oil wont give you much of a color. Nettle will give you a muted green, which will fade over time. There is no truly natural colorant that would give you a lime green.
