Soap changed color on I side of bars

[amyg]

Just cut my cold process bars and they are lighter in color on the inside. The lighter color is a square inside the bars. I did an oxide colorant swirl and added colloidal oatmeal. What caused the color change?

Partial gel phase maybe? I thought partial gel usually made bars darker on the inside. I've made a cold process oatmeal soap colored with a tiny bit of cinnamon that went through partial gel & was kind of pinkish on the inside until it finished curing. The inside is still slightly darker.

When I cut my lav/patch bars which are colored with alkanet and activated charcoal, the inside is tan and black, but as it cures, the purple-gray returns.

As they dry out the color will even out to match the outside. It is usually the most noticable with soaps made with discoloring fo's

Thanks for the replies and hopeful the color will even out over the curing time.
