← Back to How to colour transparent epoxy resin?

Looking to create grey or special shades in your transparent epoxy projects? With the right colourants and a little blending know-how, tailoring unique tints is easy and rewarding.
Mixing Grey with Colourfun Colourants
To make a true grey, simply combine the white and black Colourfun liquid dyes. Start with a small amount of each, adjusting until your ideal shade appears. This gradual approach allows you to fine-tune the depth and coolness of your grey.
A handy set for this process is the Colourfun Set, offering both core and creative hues that work brilliantly with transparent epoxy resin.
Exploring Special Effects with Metallic Powders
For more adventurous shades or a touch of shimmer, consider using a grey metallic powder. Blending metallic powder with your resin results in silky or pearlescent greys that catch the light from every angle. You can layer or swirl these with other colours to produce truly special resin finishes.
Tips for Custom Shades
- Blend small test batches before committing to your full pour to perfect your colour mix.
- Mix colourants thoroughly into the resin for a smooth, streak-free finish.
- Add colourant gradually—strong pigments can give a dramatic effect with only a few drops.
When Does Mixing Grey or Special Shades Matter?
Creating unique shades isn’t just about style—it lets you match your resin pieces to your project, decor, or artistic vision. This flexibility is especially valuable for jewellery, art panels, or matching accent colours in homewares.
