   , I’m looking for the best way to make a Black Candle of many sizes and shapes but the key part is that it is black and not purple or red any suggestions

     Getting a black candle can be challenging especially if you are using soy wax or a creamy paraffin. The best way to achieve a black colored candle is to use a non creamy paraffin wax and use Black/Gray Concentrated Liquid Candle Dye at about 21-28 drops per lb. of wax.
