Weird lather idea

You can always add some food coloring to your lather.I'm bored of the lathers of all soaps and creams being white. Why hasn't any manufacturer thought of making a soap that makes a lather of some other color instead? Or is there a technical limitation with soaps that they only produce white suds?
Razorock Black Bay resembles thick pea soup (from bay laurel)! Some people enjoyed the novelty, others were a bit put off by it. It loses some color when it is lathered, as you can see.
Because lather is mostly air and water (optically neutral with a - very - little soap thrown in). Regardless of the color of the soap, the lather will be lighter. Much. Some soaps, like Stirling's Haverford or B&M's Lavanille, are extremely dark and produce a slightly darker tinted lather. Others like GFT's Violet will be a more distinctive color, as will your brush.

Lather is millions of tiny bubbles reflecting the ambient light....change the ambient lighting if you want to change the lather color.
Extro Cosmesi Pirata is a cranberry red and the lather is a reddish pink. Goodfellas' Smile Abysso soap is blackish gray and lathers like a dove gray color.
Simply not enough color in respect of the soap surface so it stays light.
OTOH if it was dark blue and your skin after it also would you like it?

+2! And a good lather with tons of air and water is precisely what I want!!
...and what if your $300 white tip badger ends up dyed purple?
Stirling Pumpkin spice, if loaded hard, is a light brownish color.
Actually I haven't experienced permanent staining with any soap, but B&M does warn against it with their Lavanille.
Lavanille lather is cafe latte brown. Smells great, too.
Seriously?
