Is there a rule against mixing the above? I'm going to assume there is a problem with mixing micas with TD and AC, but not mixing TD and AC with each other. Just a hunch. Probably wrong.
 
I've seen you tube soapers mix micas and TD frequently, and micas plus AC less often. Not sure if I've seen a mix of all 3, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Might accelerate the batter a bit, but otherwise I can't see it causing any major issues. 🤷‍♀️
 
When I made my Wedding Soap, I wanted to 'darken' both the Klein Blue and Fire Cider so I mixed in a little Black Oxide (not a fan of A/C). I often mix Mica, Oxides, Pigments, Neons, Ultramarines, Clays and TD. Usually the TD is already dispersed in oil, but if I was making a color completely from scratch, I would toss is some dry TD in the mixer.
