The blue coloring SHOULD come out with chlorine bleach...IF you have removed all the wax....regardless of what other things you have tried. If it's not coming out, then you still have wax in the cloth. Try the iron trick again....paper towel under the cloth and on top and if yous ee any spots on the paper when ironing with a fairly hot iron, you know there is still wax in there. Linda c

Lynn...thank you for the sweet comments about my DR. Honestly, when I think of SW living...yours would be MY first choice! Love your home and all its decor. party music...I guess you can say I was in the Right Place at the Right Time...to pay those prices!! Thanks for the compliments. yachter..thank you..glad you 'Love Them' !! lol Luvs..thank you and glad you liked my 'Gold Touches' !! I don't use too much of it..but for Christmas I think it's special. punk...thank you, I'm feeling much better...I've been catching up on some rest now...and it does the body some good. I think we all burn the candle at both ends this time of year. Don't you go feeling you have to 'redo' your table...I think it was just lovely as is. Betty! I'm putting 'The Pot' on for soup. No time is too late! Bring on those bowls!! The centerpiece is actually three small pots of poinsiettas that I bought on clearance at CTS for $1 ea. They have really nice pinecones, greenery and berries mixed in them. I just stuck them in a long metal planter, and added some gold ribbon in between the base of them. Glad you liked it. I think my family gave me those table gifts, cause I was the one who Always did Christmas at my house and they were the guests!! lol jane

I’m wondering what you ended up doing.

An alternative to adding color might be to leave the candle a natural color and blend dried herbs or flowers, or beads or trinkets into the candle wax in such a way that they are visible, through the wax, at the sides of the candles, for interest.
