@agriffin -- thanks. this colour is without using any extra colouring agents.
@april -- using turmeric will be a very good idea since turmeric is an excellent anti-septic! however be sure to add huge quantities since in my soaps the colour has already started to fade. it was bright yellow when i was pouring the trace and as the molds are cooling the colour seems to fade away.
thanks...but i think i should have added more clove. it would have given a nice brown shade plus good aroma. will try more amount it in some other batch.
