Hey peacenix! What color would you make a Peace candle in a glass jar.

The description is as such... Peace:ginger, carnation, orange, vetiver, and musk

Pale Green, Sky Blue, White, Tanishy brown, or some other color. I'm not yet ready for swirls so tie-died is out. What say you? Thanks. I'm still having a hell of a time coming up with a name. BAH!

Restful colors. Tanishy brown = baby poop, which is not a peaceful concept at all.

I think of white....not sure why but that was the first color that popped into my head. I think a soft green or blue would also work.

I used to make candles and haven't in years...you are inspiring me. Love the fragrance mix...bet that smells wonderful!!!

would want bright, psychedelia-related colors. But, I admit, I'm no master of home decor. My apartments usually resemble caves, and I'm not talking about the ones with the fancy paintings.

Maybe it could be small on the label, but the scent is named "Peace" and I don't particularly HAVE to name the candle I make with it Peace. Just tossing around ideas really. And I love DU feedback...for the most part.

Lol! I must be losing my mind! Maybe breaking into the stoner market wouldn't be a bad idea, though. They seem to like candles.
