Are there many FOs that discolor to an olive green shade? This is the first one I’ve encountered. It’s MMS Sensual (on the right). The brown soap on the left is scented with MMS Nag Champa. What other colors are possible with discoloring FOs? I think I recall that someone on the forum gets a pink color pink from an FO.

I tried Nurture Soap Creation to see the discoloration - it is a very dark brownish/oliveish green. The Herbalicious FO from Nurture will discolor to purple. I kept my sample for a couple of years and it did eventually fade. I have also had a pink discoloration, but can't remember which one - like @Obsidian I think it was a men's cologne type of fragrance. Discontinued, but Nurture's Flame Tree discolored to a rusty brown color, but with vanilla color stabilizer it discolored to a very pretty yellow - similar to annatto. Also, I got a pinkish tan discoloration from - FB Comforter (?) I'd have to double check to be sure that was the one. It took awhile for the pink tone to show up.
 
I‘m always looking for ways to get greens and like the olive green of the MMS FO, but still undecided about the scent. Maybe it would be nice as a swirl in a base scented with a different FO. l hadn’t noticed Creation on the Nurture site, probably because I always select “no discoloration” in the filter, duh.

Herbalicious is really nice. If you have a minty FO or peppermint EO, it pairs very well.
 
Love the olive green you got there!
Since there's some discussion of pink discoloration, I've had a random pink discoloration from a (combination of) EO once, but haven't been able to pin it down. Thought for a while it might be cinnamon + yoghurt but haven't been able to replicate the color (yet).
