Hi;
I have some candles which I bought quite awhile ago.
They were bought as Halloween candles and were black.
They were bought at a very good price.
They are small ritual chime sized candles.
The issue is that they kind of faded to a rich dark brown now.
My question is;
Now that they are brown(this deep brown is unusual and hard to find)
Should I use them as brown, or keeping in mind what they were when I got them, should I use them as black.
I have been reluctant to use them until a conclusion is drawn.
Please do not tell me to go with how i feel or think, because this is why I haven't used them so far.
I ASEAN I am sure I will at some point decide, and I would like to know what others herein would do in such an instance.
