These are birds with a yellow base colour and lots of melanin creating greens and blacks. Green (same colours as the wild Canary).(Note: these are not types as such, as many of the categories can apply to yellow or red-based birds, and they can be crested, uncrested, etc.) In terms of categorisation for show purposes, these are the main groupings of Canaries. A ‘lightly variegated’ bird has less than 50% dark feathers a ‘medium variegated’ is between 50 and 75% and a ‘heavily variegated’ has in excess of 75% dark coloration – but less than 100%. A catch-all category used for anything that falls between ticked and foul Canary types. Undoubtedly the least flattering of the many tags given to pet birds, these have a small number of light feathers in their wings or tail, on an otherwise dark coat. These have small, localised patches of melanin. The opposite to the Clear type, these all-melanin Canaries have no lipochrome colours (yellow or red-based). These birds have no melanin at all, and therefore no variegation in their colours. Breeders categorise birds according to levels of this pigment in the following way: The presence of melanin brings great variation to Canary colours and markings. These five factors – black melanin, brown melanin, lipochrome yellow, lipochrome red, and white – are the basis of the endless variations in Canary colour and plumage. There are three base types amongst pet Canaries – the classic yellow ( Lutino), derived from the colour present in the wild Canary the Red Factor ( Rubino), whose rosy tint derives from a genetically imported red pigment, the result of South American Red Siskins being introduced into the gene pool by cross-breeding with Canaries and white, in which base colour pigments are lacking (Note: most white Canaries are not albinos, which lack pigmentation in their eyes, skin, legs and beak, not just their feathers). A lipochrome Canary lacks the black and brown ‘layers’, and is stripped back to its base colour. It can be present in varying degrees, and correspondingly different levels of variegation. The presence of melanin darkens colours, and in Canaries it is responsible for the blacks and browns. A wild Canary has three ‘layers’ of colour - an underlying yellow, turned partly green by the brown melanin pigment, and detailed with shades of black melanin. The many subtleties and combinations mean there are dozens of variations on the colour theme, and the key to understanding lies in the palette itself, and the wonderful results of pigmentation (or the lack of it). As in any bird, the colour is controlled by genes responsible for pigmentation.
Your final color may vary from the swatches above based on fragrance and amount of color used.Canaries bred and exhibited on the basis of colour tend to be at the smaller end of the Canary scale, averaging around 140mm (5.5 inches). W = Likely outcome when used in White Melt & Pour Soap Base.Ĭ = Likely outcome when used in Clear Melt & Pour Soap Base.ĬP = Likely outcome when using Cold Process Method. Images represent likely outcome, actual outcome may vary. The CP represents the color you are most likely to get when using the Cold Process method of making soap. The C represents the color you are most likely to get when using a Clear Melt & Pour Soap Base.
The W represents the color you are most likely to get when using a White Melt & Pour Soap Base. The different shades are represented by a letter (W, C, or CP) above each shade. In testing we found that 7 to 10 drops per pound produced the maximum color saturation in Clear Melt & Pour Soap.Įach Gel Color has three shades in the product image. The Canary Yellow Gel Color is a highly concentrated colorant designed to be used with personal care products manufactured by you! Canary Yellow Gel Color is 10 to 15 times more concentrated than our previous colors.
