Default Need some color recommendations

Hi all,
I need some input regarding the best light transparent blue and light transparent purple. Looking for a "whispy" look that I can use encased and swirled in clear. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Sounds like Northstar irrid may work for you as the blue. It's a less saturated version of Turquesa. Maybe hit it with a tiny bit of silver fume too.

You could try Momka Light Purple Haze as the purple. It does go quite dark though, you may want to layer some over a 10mm clear rod and pull it down to see how it works. Alternatively, you can take a rod of NS Violet and add something to it to get the whispy look, something light like ELY or...something. GA light cobalt is a pretty blue, as is Brilliant Blue. You have to add something to those too.

Depending on how light you want to go you might try Momka's Silver Iris for the light blue. Either NS lavender or violet are very light purples. That said I don't recommend using Silver Iris or Violet Iris with the NS lavender or violet because you don't get enough of a difference if you encase IMHO.
