Actually, the main thing is that it changes color most of the way through, and holds it for at least 15 seconds. The actual color can vary a lot from pink to peach, lavender, red etc. As long as it changes and holds, it's done. Sometimes it will appear that a small amount has not changed, just keep swirling and if it holds it's done.

Should the bowl with the sample that is titrated be completely pink. I find that it tends to be a peach color because of the yellow oil.

Therefore, should it be at that point where the yellow-white mixture turns into peach, or should it be completely pink?

The bowl on the left is the Titration container. The one on the right just holds the reference solution of Lye/water or KOH/water.

It is hard to tell which bowl is which with only 2 on the screen.
