I have a few Eroma FO testers and I am finding it difficult to describe the colour so I can put them in the FO list.
Can anyone please help me with naming the first 7 (as the others seem to be a similar colour):
They are:
1 Amazon Lily & Rain - just off pure white
2 Black Bamboo & Lily - pure white
3 Chamomile & Grapefruit - just off pure white (same as 1)
4 Old Spice - yellowish or greenish yellow?
5 Sage & Pomegranate - off white???
6 Sandalwood & Geranium - a bit muted yellow?? or yellowish off white
7 Sandalwood & musk - a bit yellow?? or yellowish off white or creamy yellow
8 Sea Salt & ocean Breeze - just off pure white (same as I and 3)
9 Surf Side - just off pure white (same as 1, 3 and 8)
10 Thai Lime & Mango - off white??? (same as 5)
11 Wood sage & sea salt - a bit muted yellow?? or yellowish off white (same as 6)
The second photo is the little hearts turned over. 6 and 11 aren't set enough to get out of the molds yet but if I can get an idea of how to describe the others I can probably work out 6 and 11. Soapcolours2.jpgsoapcolours3.jpg

Keeping in mind monitors display colors differently and you have the real deal in front of you, I would describe 1, 3 and 9 very slight discoloration to off white. I'd call 5 ivory. I'm not sure about 8, but it is slight and either off white or ivory. 4 looks like it might have a greenish-yellow color. 6 & 11 look kind of the same to me - tan maybe? They are also showing slightly green on my monitor, so take the green comments with a grain of salt. 7 is definitely yellow (or gold). 10 looks darker to me than 5, but lighter than a tan color. Maybe dark ivory. I agree, it's hard.
 
Thank you so much Dibbles. Ivory is the perfect word. With the samples right in front of me I think 5 is a tiny bit lighter than 10 so I'll call 5 pale ivory and 10 ivory.
Greenish-yellow is spot on for 4.
6 & 11 might need a bit more time to work out their colour as they were too soft to get out of the mold and might turn into something else.
Now I just need to work out how to describe the scent...:)
