← Back to How to colour transparent epoxy resin?

Creating either a solid or a beautifully blended gradient in your transparent epoxy projects is simple with the right techniques and colourants. Here’s how to approach both effects effectively for standout results.
Choosing the Right Pigments for Solid and Gradient Effects
For vivid, solid colour, concentrated pastes such as the Colourfun Set are ideal. These pastes blend effortlessly with epoxy resin, allowing you to achieve intense, opaque coverage using just a small amount. To create gradient or ombré effects, use high-quality liquid pigments. Start with a few drops and gradually add more to small sections, blending between tones as you pour to achieve a smooth transition.
Practical Application Tips
Mix your chosen colourant into the resin, beginning with less than you think you need—concentrated pigments go a long way. For gradients, pour lightest to darkest, slightly blending borders with a stick or brush for seamless effects. It’s recommended to test your colour combinations on a small scale before committing to a larger piece, ensuring the finish matches your vision.
When Does Colour Choice Matter Most?
The look you choose—solid versus gradient—can dramatically affect the mood and impact of your finished resin piece. Solid colours offer bold, consistent coverage ideal for statement items or branding, while gradients add depth and flow, enhancing artistic or natural effects like water and sky.
