How to Blend and Mix Custom Resin Colours

← Back to What colours should you use to colour resin?

Blending your own shades for resin projects is a fantastic way to personalise your creations. By mixing compatible resin colourants, you can unlock a whole spectrum of unique colours tailored to any vision.

Choosing Compatible Resin Colourants

Selecting the right colourants is key for successful blending. Products such as the Colourfun Set are specially formulated for mixability, offering intense liquid pigments that disperse evenly in resin. For transparent resin effects, Magic Crystal dyes provide brilliant tinted results while remaining clear. Always check product compatibility with your specific resin system before mixing.

How to Mix and Blend Custom Shades

Start by adding small amounts of each colourant to a separate cup of mixed resin. Use clean mixing sticks and gradually combine drops until you achieve the desired hue. If you’re after pastel or grey tones, try balancing white and black pigment to your preference. Limit total pigment to around 5% of your resin mixture for optimal curing and clarity. Always mix thoroughly to avoid streaks or spots.

Creative Tips for Resin Colour Mixing

Record the ratios you use for repeatable results.
Test new blends on a sample first to preview curing results.
Explore layering and marble effects by partially blending shades.

When Custom Resin Colours Matter

Blending custom colours is especially useful if you want to match project themes, recreate natural stone effects, or design exclusive statement pieces. This approach puts creative control firmly in your hands.
