Purple Liquid Candle Dye

Add an elegant purple color to your handmade candles with Purple Liquid Candle Dye. This concentrated candle colorant can create shades ranging from soft lavender and violet to rich plum and deep purple, depending on the type of wax and amount of dye used.

Purple liquid dye generally produces a deeper, more saturated shade in paraffin wax and a softer, more muted purple in soy wax.

Liquid candle dye is convenient for both small test batches and larger candle-making projects because it is easy to measure, mix, and reproduce. Use it to color container candles, pillar candles, votives, tealights, wax melts, and other wax-based creations. Purple works beautifully for floral, spa-inspired, luxury, romantic, Halloween, and celestial candle collections.

The finished shade will depend on the type of wax, the amount of dye used, fragrance oil, additives, and the natural color of the wax. 

Begin with a small amount and add more dye as needed. Melted wax usually looks darker than cooled wax, so always evaluate a fully cooled sample before pouring the full batch.

Avoid adding excessive dye, as too much colorant can affect wick performance, fragrance, and the way the candle burns.

Creating custom colors

Purple Liquid Candle Dye can be blended with other compatible liquid candle dyes to create custom shades:

• Purple + blue: Violet, indigo or cool purple
• Purple + magenta: Orchid, berry or fuchsia-purple
• Purple + red: Plum, wine or warm purple
• Purple + a small amount of black: Eggplant or deep royal purple
• Purple + brown: Muted plum, mauve or earthy purple
• Small amount of purple in white wax: Lavender, lilac or pastel purple

Add the second color gradually and record every measurement so the formula can be reproduced.
