Goodbye dull colours, hello wow-factor results with these top tips
Colour is the first thing people notice in your creations, so it needs to grab attention and impress.
But getting those perfect, punchy shades isn’t about luck: it’s about using the right products and techniques. Here’s how to unlock the secret to getting colours that pop, every time.
Choose the right colourant 🎨
At Soak, you’ll find everything from mica powders for shimmer and sparkle, to neon pigments for solid, eye-catching shades, and water-soluble dyes for even coverage in bath bombs. Our customers love them, just look at these reviews!
Each has its own magic, so match the colourant to your product for the best results.
Avoid colour bleed 🩸
There’s nothing worse than a rainbow design turning into a muddy mess… So, use Soak’s non-bleed pigments to keep your colours crisp, even when they’re sitting side by side.
Planning your palette before you start mixing will also help your design shine.
Consider blooming 🤔
If you’ve ever struggled with speckly colours or uneven mixes, blooming could be the trick you’re missing.
It’s a simple technique that helps dyes spread evenly through your product, giving a professional, polished finish. Click HERE for everything you need to know to get started.
Make your colours last ⏳
Bright shades can quickly fade if you don’t look after them.
Store your powders in a cool, dry place and keep finished products away from direct sunlight. Our mica powders and pigments are long-lasting, so with the right storage, your creations will hold their colours.
Test before you batch 🧪
Every mix is different, which is why it pays to test.
A quick trial with your colourants will show how the colour blooms and blends before you attempt to incorporate them into a design, saving you from surprises in a full batch.
