Color is defined as "the quality of an object, perceived as a visual sensation, resulting from its transmission or reflection of light of any or all of the various parts of the spectrum," according to the Macmillan Dictionary.
Say what?.. Ok, in my words: Color represents character, vitality, and interest. Color can show personality and attitude. Color can also affect or influence the way people feel..This is why we LOVE color! We enjoy creating bold colors for our scented soy wax candles has well as our soaps.
We found that connecting a beautiful bold color to match the name of the candle or soap, can help visualize and interpret the scent of the product.. For example, we color our Red Hot Cinnamon soy candle, a bright red color. When you see the candle, what do you think of ? ..Maybe, those little red hot cinnamon candies you used to get from the ice cream truck when you were a kid? That is exactly what it smells like.
In addition, color can enhance or bring about a particular emotion or feeling. Have you ever walked into a room that is a shade of blue and felt peaceful and happy? So why can't we invoke the same feeling when we light a candle? Candles help us create an ambiance of relaxation and stress-less-ness..(I know that is a word somewhere lol!)
