(Poppy Red™)
Oh, I'm happy with this! Red poppies have always been one of my favorite flowers in the world and I almost jumped up and down when I opened this version. It was exactly what I wanted! It's vibrant and lively with warm undertones. It is incredibly bright and doesn’t require a lot to get a saturated color.
I quickly made a batch of cold process soap, epoxy resin and clear MP soap, hoping they would all come out as perfect as the pigment blend. They all came out great - and different from True Red! I knew POPPY RED was the name for this one!
I did a little more research on red poppies: they symbolize several things, but the ones I think fit are inspiration, devotion, and hope for a peaceful future. In the Japanese language of flowers, Hanakotoba, the red poppy means “fun-loving”. For me, the “pop” in poppy is the key to this color. More than bright, it is absolute fun!
CP Soap: Tested using 3 grams/pound of cold process soap batter.
Consistent in both epoxy resin and clear MP soap (usage in MP was ½ teaspoon per lb. of clear base). Predictable.

Customer Reviews
Can't wait to use, slightly more pink than I presumed it would look but a gorgeous blend type color!
Poppy Red has quickly become one of my favorites! It really pairs well with almost all colors. I love how it plays off of Ectoplasm (take a bow, Ectoplasm). It is the color we never knew we needed!
I love how this red turned out in my cold process soap. So pretty!
This is what sunset dreams are made of
Vibrant fun color, red with an orange hue like a chili pepper.
