It's the most commonly used color to represent bright purple. The clear, vibrant feel is so beautiful
I use this to create a light lavender color and it looks very nice.
I was hoping for a gentle lavender, but this appears more grayish in my CP soaps.
This is such a good lilac, lavender, and lighter/mid purple color. I used to use a lighter purple and people love this one more as it is more true.
Used with black raspberry vanilla scent in my goat soap, pretty.
Beautiful Purple
