← Back to How to colour white resin?


Choosing the right pigment is key to achieving stunning results when colouring white resin. Whether you want vibrant solid shades or subtle metallic effects, the right pigment will help bring your creative vision to life.
Types of Pigments for White Resin
Liquid dyes and paste colourants are perfect for attaining strong, opaque finishes in white resin. Products like the Colourfun Set offer a selection of concentrated pigments that disperse smoothly, providing even colour coverage without streaks. If you are after shimmer or depth, mica powders such as Sahara create brilliant metallic and pearlescent effects that shift with the light, ideal for more decorative or subtle finishes.


How to Achieve the Best Colour Results
For a solid, uniform look, use high-concentration liquid or paste colourants and mix thoroughly with the resin before pouring. For vivid metallic and layered effects, sprinkle or swirl mica powder pigments into the resin. Start with small amounts—just a few drops or grams per kilogram of resin—and add more as needed to reach your desired intensity. Always refer to your pigment’s instructions for optimal results and compatibility with your chosen resin type.
When This Matters Most
- Jewellery and Art: Precision control over shade and effect is vital for professional finishes.
- Resin Table Tops and River Projects: Consistent colour and coverage ensure overall visual impact.
- Detailed Crafting: Mixing both liquid and mica pigments allows endless creativity and unique results.
