Guest guest Posted January 19, 2000 Report Share Posted January 19, 2000 The higher the color the more you can see in the bath. The paste colors work well but you do get some coloring in the bath. Some salts won't take a vibrant color. Like epsom salt will look rather dull. Kosher salt, rock salt, sea salt, will take a higher color. Some like the color in the water. I always try to match color with the flavor of the salts. Like red/white for peppermint, a yellow for lemon, for peach and apricot, almost the same but a bit more red in the apricot. For kiwi/lime a light green, have to mix your greens as you get a beautiful turquoise straight out of the bottle. My sister in law loves a mix I call Moca Java and I tint it to look like a cup of coffee laced well with cream. One more trick for coloring is to add just a bit of oil to the salts(the good stuff like apricot kernel). Some thought this early morning for salts, hope it helps.

I made peppermint bath salts, one bathc I used some red food color, the other I left white, then layered them like sand art. Afterwards I tipped the jar just a bit and they " swirled " just a tad.
