Is there a fix to colouring soap with a lot of OO? I have been happy with most my soaps but I would like to get a few that are more true to the oxides, thanks

I've used Brambleberry's lab colors designed for soaps with a high olive oil content. I especially like the purple passion, it gives a nice, true purple for me.

I use the lightest color olive oil I can get.

If you use Pomace OO, the result will be whiter soap base so it's easier to color.

I don't care for pomace myself. In my formula, it traces too fast.

I don't care for pomace either. I buy regular oo at sams club and it is not dark yellow or green by any means. It is tinted a light yellow, but that is easily compensated for and I get plenty of natural colored soap!

I add a little bit of TD to my oils if they seem dark, unless I want a nice dark colour!

The pomace brand I buy is very light in color. Some I've gotten was very dark green, but this is almost the same color as EVOO.

I use olive oil from Costco and it's yellow. Even though my soaps are half olive oil, I don't have to correct for the color of the oil.

I get mine from sam's club (100 % pure olive oil light yellow in color ) as well and my bars are so white it's hard to get a red color cause it turns it pink . give it a try, it's pretty cheap.
