What Are Color Lab Colors?
COLOR LAB™: Mad Micas colorists create hundreds of colors that don't go into regular production; here's your chance to take a peek into the lab.
Each month we'll be rolling out a new color complete with notes from that colorist's lab book and making it available for one month only.
Note: Some Color Lab colors may eventually be made part of our permanent collection.
The Color Lab selection for May, 2024 is:
Book 7, Entry 2.
Available through May 31, 2024 or until sold out.
(Velvet Plum™)
Smoky dark purple. Velvety, like a Queen’s gown or the stuffed royal chairs she sits in while having her afternoon tea. This color also brings back memories from when I was a small child: watching my grandmother's purple pansies and African Violets in her windowsill dancing in the light summer breeze.
Testing with our standard 3 grams per pound of cold process soap batter gave me a smoky purple that became richer and deeper while it cured. Bright and mesmerizing in epoxy resin and clear MP soap (usage in MP was ½ teaspoon per lb. of clear base).

I love Velvet Plum color. I hope it will come back. Such a beautiful color for my Fall soap collection.
I used Velvet Plum to make a little epoxy resin heart-shaped jar and lid and it turned out beautifully! Such a gorgeous deep color! Well done MM!
This is such a beautiful rich dark purple. It'll be perfect for fall soaps ans bath bombs.
I love this color. I had to buy a 2nd pound of this color because it is magnificent!
Can't wait to see what the lab keeps coming up with for the monthly colors, I am on the lookout!!!
Finally, a DARK moody plum that is CP stable! It's simply stunning.
