Although it does turn a stunning shade of orange when first incorporated, it went back to being a bright, cheerful yellow within a few hours of CPOP! Reminds me of lemons & at 1 generous tsp/PPO the color is very vibrant & true! I also blended this mica with BB's "Kelly Green" mica at a ratio of 1/4tsp yellow to 1/2tsp green to produce a lovely shade of lime green! This mixture looked olive green when first incorporated in my soap, but as before, within an hour or so of CPOP, it turned an incredible shade of lime green & exactly what I was going for! I am VERY happy with this versatile & beautiful mica! Will absolutely purchase again!
