What pigment can be used for grey metallic resin colours?

Top Choice for Metallic Grey Effects: Sahara Mica Powder

The standout pigment for authentic grey metallic resin shades is Sahara mica powder. This premium pigment has been developed to deliver a dynamic, pearlescent shimmer, bringing a genuine metallic look to transparent resin projects. Simply blend 5–8g of Sahara mica powder per 1kg of resin to achieve a richly saturated grey with elegant metallic swirls. Its high lightfastness keeps your artwork vivid over time, and it remains stable during heat-generating resin cures—ideal for fine arts, home décor, or even nail art.

Alternative Ways to Achieve Grey Resin Colours

For different shades or undertones of grey, liquid pigment sets such as the Colourfun range can be invaluable. Try combining black and white Colourfun pigments to customise your preferred intensity or tone of grey. These concentrated colourants are easy to blend with epoxy and UV resins, letting you fine-tune the look from soft grey to a deeper, moodier base—pairing well with a hint of mica for added depth and sparkle.

• Mix white and black Colourfun liquid dyes for tailored grey shades.
• Add a pinch of Sahara mica powder to introduce a metallic dimension.
• Always blend thoroughly for even colour distribution.

When This Matters: Choosing Pigments for Resin Art & Decor

Selecting the right pigment is crucial when a metallic or dimensional effect is needed—such as in coasters, geode art, jewellery, or decorative castings. Using a true mica powder like Sahara gives your projects lustre and movement that basic grey dyes can’t match. If you need a solid, opaque grey with a subtle sheen, blend Colourfun liquid colourants then swirl in a little mica for best effect.
