Curious about what colours are available for your next epoxy resin project? Whether you’re creating functional art, bold jewellery, river tables or decorative objects, choosing the right resin colourant is central to achieving the effect you desire. This page is for makers, crafters, and professionals seeking transparent, opaque or translucent finishes in a variety of vibrant shades. Here, you’ll find a comprehensive guide to the key options in the ResinPro range, clarifying differences and helping you select the perfect match for your needs.

Understanding Resin Colour Options: Opaque, Translucent & Transparent

ResinPro offers two primary categories of colourants: solid, high-coverage liquid and paste dyes for bold and opaque looks, and specialised transparent tints designed for glass-like or gemstone effects. Opaque resins, achievable with highly concentrated colourants such as Colourfun, are ideal for statement jewellery, striking designs, or when you want to mask what’s underneath. For vivid yet see-through effects, especially in geode or crystal projects, transparent dyes like the Magic Crystal range deliver clarity and colour brilliance. Many pastes and sets allow easy custom mixing for unique shades. Choosing between opaque, translucent, or crystal-clear colours depends on the look and light transmission you want to achieve, as well as your resin casting method.

“Colourfun” – Liquid Epoxy Resin Colourant 25-100ml – High coverage

The Colourfun range provides a versatile solution for both beginners and experienced resin artists needing vivid, highly pigmented colours. These concentrated liquid colourants allow for rich, opaque hues or subtle stained-glass effects, all with only a few drops per batch. Because of their high pigment load, the colour intensity is fully adjustable, offering both full coverage and translucence depending on how much is added. Main shades available include white, black, blue, red, and green, along with a broad selection of additional tones. Highly concentrated and perfectly compatible with all ResinPro systems, these colourants are Cruelty Free and Vegan Friendly.

“Colourfun Set” – Liquid Epoxy Resin Colourant Set for Solid Colour Effects

If you love variety or want to experiment, the Colourfun Set brings you nine rich, highly concentrated colour pastes. Perfect for larger projects or for those who often switch between different tones, these pastes are designed to disperse easily in epoxy, producing both intense, brilliant colours and custom blends. Thanks to their high coverage and easy blending, you can create either opaque or striking translucent effects. This set is a go-to for anyone looking to produce sea water finishes, river tables, or multi-colour castings with consistency. All pastes are cruelty-free and vegan-friendly.

“Magic Crystal” – Transparent Resin Colour 45ml

For those pursuing realistic glass, mineral, or gemstone looks in resin art, Magic Crystal stands out. It is specifically formulated to impart intense transparent colours without losing the resin’s pure clarity – ideal for geode slices, layered objects, and statement jewellery. This tint is engineered so it maintains absolute glass-like transparency with no cloudiness and does not settle in resin ensuring uniform colour throughout. It’s also easy to blend for creating customisable shades.

“Magic Crystal” – Set of 5 Transparent Colourants, 5 x 45ml

The Magic Crystal Set simplifies colour selection for transparent projects. This kit includes five stunningly clear tints: Emerald (Chartreuse), Amber (Orange), Ruby (Crimson), Turquoise, and Amethyst (Red Violet), perfect for crystal creation, art, or custom effects. The set is optimised for use with ResinPro clear resin systems and retains maximum brightness after curing, letting you craft real crystal effects at home or in the studio. If unique colour combinations are your goal, the shades blend smoothly to expand your options.

Picking the Right Resin Colour for Your Project

Deciding which pigment or set to choose depends on your resin technique (casting, coating, layering, jewellery, art), the opacity you want, and how much flexibility you need for customisation. Opaque liquid or paste dyes such as Colourfun are best for bold, visible designs or hiding inclusions. Transparent tints like Magic Crystal bring dramatic crystal and geode effects to life. For those who want an endless palette, opt for the complete Colourfun Set or the Magic Crystal Set for an array of ready-to-blend shades. You can always browse all dyes and pigments for even more inspiration and to match with your chosen epoxy base.
