Teach Soap

My first Castille/goat milk soap is 4 days old - out of the mold, but uncut.

I noticed light golden/orange-ish spots distributed consistently throughout the whole loaf. Tried to take a photo, but its subtle and it doesn't really show it. I don't see how these could be DOS in a 4 day old soap. Would the spots be bits of saponified goat milk fat? I did not see the "orange" some folks get when mixing up my goat milk Recipe below:

Olive Oil 1000 grams
Goat Milk (frozen) 305 grams
Lye 124 grams (29% strength)
NG Green Tea FO
Oxide colorant: yellow + blue
Soaped at low temps - 80 degrees F or thereabouts. No gelling.
Batter went into the mold at light trace - well emulsified.
I took 1/4 of the batter out to add color - stick blended the crap outta that as I did not do the best job with my last color mix.

ETA: I did NOT strain any "bits" out of the GM/lye solution, as said "bits" were numerous and tiny. Could these "bits" now be the spots I see - that are now a type of milk-fat soap?

I had a similar thing happen the first time I made GM soap. I strained it the next time and haven't gotten any more.

Likely it would be caramelised sugars from the milk and lye mixture getting too warm. I always straight my GM/Lye mixture into my oils to catch those.

My GM soaps end of with small caramel coloured flecks throughout, I kind of like how it looks.
