Any Of Our Pearl Lines
Our epoxy mixing page lists the same starting amount for solid, colorshift, super colorshift, subtleshift and holographic pearls.

Use Less Superflake
Superflake pearls are listed at half the amount of the other pearl lines.

A Black Base For The Strongest Effect
Our product pages recommend a black base for colorshift and holographic pearls.

Test Other Resins First
Our mixing page says to test first with other epoxy and polyester resins.
How Much To Use
Our epoxy guide gives one simple starting range. Use less for a translucent look and more for a stronger color.
- Pearl pigments in epoxy resin
- 1 gram per 1 to 5 oz
- Superflake pearls in epoxy resin
- 0.5 gram per 1 to 5 oz
The range depends on how translucent you want the result. These figures come from our epoxy mixing page. Mix a small test batch before a full pour.
Epoxy & Resin Art Questions
How much pigment do I add to epoxy resin?
Our epoxy mixing page lists 1 gram per 1 to 5 oz of resin for pearl pigments, and 0.5 gram per 1 to 5 oz for Superflake pearls. Start at the low end, mix well, and add more if you want a stronger color.
Does the base color matter?
Yes. Our product pages recommend a black base for the strongest effect with colorshift and holographic pearls. Test on a scrap piece first.
Which pearl should I start with?
If you are not sure, start with a variety pack or build your own sample pack. You can test several pearls in your own project before you buy a bigger size.
What sizes do the pigments come in?
Most pearls come in 5 gram and 25 gram sizes, and some colors also come in smaller sample sizes. Sizes vary by color, so check the size options on each product page.
