Solid and Opaque Colours: Achieving Impactful, Uniform Results

For bold, solid colour effects that stand out—think vibrant jewelry, signage, or unique centrepieces—the Colourfun Set is the ultimate choice. This kit features nine high-concentration, paste-based dyes that ensure intense, brilliant colours without streaks or uneven areas. Thanks to the easy to mix formula and high coverage, just a few drops can tinge litres of resin, making it both versatile and economical. What’s more, these are cruelty-free and vegan-friendly, so you can colour your resin with a clear conscience.

If you’d like to customise transparency, or achieve anything from a stained glass look to a truly opaque finish, the Colourfun – Liquid Epoxy Resin Colourant 25-100ml – High coverage series is for you. These highly concentrated liquid colourants are easy to blend, allowing you to dial up or tone down the opacity as needed. The long-lasting coverage and economical usage: with just a few drops, you can colour several kilos of resin, ensuring quality results and low waste across all your resin art or furniture work.

For those looking to experiment further, consider the Renaissance – Set of Dyes, 4 Colour Palettes. Specifically designed for creating marble effects, these dyes offer guided control over pigment concentration—from translucent at 1% up to fully opaque at 5%—making it ideal for artwork that mimics natural stone.

For Glass-like Clarity: Transparent Resin Colours and Crystal Effects

If your creative goal is to maintain maximum transparency—such as in crystal jewellery, geode slices, or faux gemstones—the Magic Crystal – Transparent Resin Colour 45ml is a specialist’s dream. These dyes are engineered to deliver intense Transparent Colours and easy to mix formulas that never cloud over. They blend seamlessly for customisable shades and reliable results that stay glass-clear even after curing.

The Magic Crystal – Set of 5 Transparent Colourants, 5 x 45ml introduces five stunning transparent shades—Emerald, Amber, Ruby, Turquoise, and Amethyst—giving you endless possibilities for coloured crystal effects with epoxy. Mix and layer these dyes with Resin Pro transparent resin to create your own beautiful synthetic gems.

Shimmer, Shine, and Interference Effects

When your project calls for something striking and reflective, metallic pigments such as Sahara Space – Interference Metallic Pigment, 10g bring a professional finish. These pigments are crafted from real metals and provide captivating interference effects, shifting colour intensity depending on the viewing angle and how much pigment is used. Contains four interference pigments, made by grinding real metals for brightness, colour saturation varies with amount of pigment used—so you always have creative control, and each jar comes with a dispenser and protective cap for ease of use.

Remember, for any pigment or dye, never exceed 5% of the resin mixture by weight—this ensures proper curing and keeps your results consistent and high quality.

How to Select the Best Resin Colour for Your Project

Choosing the best colour for your resin depends on the effect, transparency, and durability you desire. For high-impact, solid shades, opt for concentrated pastes or liquid dyes from the Colourfun range. For projects where light and clarity are vital, transparent colourants like those in the Magic Crystal lines are ideal. Shimmery or marbleised designs call for specialist sets like Renaissance and Saharan interference pigments.

Special pigment sets can be a smart way to ensure compatibility, colour harmony, and repeatable results. No matter your project, always use pigments engineered and tested for resin, like those from ResinPro, and consult the Dyes and Pigments section for detailed usage guides and inspiration.
