Using Colourfun for Deep, Dark Colours in UV Resin

Achieving deep, dramatic colours in UV resin opens up new creative possibilities, whether you’re crafting jewellery, artwork, or decorative accents. Colourfun colourants offer a reliable way to produce rich, dark shades in both epoxy and UV resin projects.

What Makes Colourfun Ideal for Dark Resin Tones?

Colourfun liquid colourants are formulated for high coverage and strong pigment intensity, allowing you to create dark, opaque tones with only a few drops. This makes it easy to control colour depth, whether you want a touch of translucency or a solid finish.

Highly concentrated: Deep hues without overloading your resin.
Blendable: Mix multiple Colourfun shades to customise blacks, deep blues, and rich reds.
Consistent results: Designed to work with both epoxy and UV resin, ensuring even colour distribution.

How to Mix Colourfun for Best Results

Add Colourfun colourant slowly, mixing thoroughly as you go. Start with a small amount and build the intensity—this prevents over-saturation, which can affect curing or clarity. For dark effects, usually 2–4% pigment by weight relative to the resin is sufficient. Avoid exceeding 5%, as this can negatively impact resin properties.

To achieve complex dark marble looks, blend black or dark blue with a little white or metallic for depth. You can find more details and colour options in the Colourfun product range.

When This Matters: Projects Suited to Deep UV Resin Colour

Using Colourfun for deep, dark colours is ideal in projects where bold contrast or dramatic effects are wanted—like resin marbling, jewellery, or statement coasters. The ability to reliably achieve consistent dark hues means you can experiment confidently without unexpected results or patchy colouration.
