Note: The hue in the color photo is approximate and may vary with the amount of dye and type of wax used. Other factors that can affect color when making candles are the opacity of the wax, the use of additives such as stearic acid, and fragrances.

Due to the consistency of the wax, it is common for paraffin wax to give vibrant colors and soy wax to give pastel colors.
