Indigo Beaver Dust Pigment is a deep blue-purple mica powder designed for epoxy resin, resin art, woodworking projects, candles, soap making, and craft applications. This pigment creates a rich indigo shimmer, making it a strong choice for projects where you want a darker blue-violet colour with depth, movement, and a pearlescent mica effect.
Use Indigo in epoxy pours, river tables, resin inlays, coasters, trays, charcuterie boards, decorative art, galaxy-style resin pieces, jewel-tone designs, and handmade gifts. It can be used on its own for a deep indigo shimmer or blended with other Beaver Dust Pigments to create custom navy, violet, midnight blue, purple, galaxy, or jewel-tone effects.
Best Uses for Indigo Mica Powder
- Epoxy resin art and fluid pours
- River tables, resin inlays, and woodworking projects
- Galaxy, night sky, indigo, navy, violet, and deep blue epoxy projects
- Charcuterie boards, serving boards, trays, and decorative accents
- Resin coasters, jewelry, keychains, and small craft projects
- Candle making, soap making, and general craft projects
Why Indigo Is a Useful Pigment Colour
Indigo is a useful mica powder colour when you want a pigment that sits between deep blue and purple. It can work well in galaxy-style resin art, darker river table pours, night-sky inspired designs, jewel-tone colour palettes, and projects where you want more colour depth than a standard blue pigment.
This colour works well in clear epoxy, tinted resin, galaxy-style pours, darker backgrounds, lighter pearl blends, silver accents, and natural wood projects. Testing a small sample first is the best way to see how the Indigo tone, shimmer, and transparency will look in your exact resin, wax, soap base, coating, or craft material.
Why Beaver Dust Pigments Are Different
Beaver Dust Pigments are made with fine particles under 60 microns. This smaller particle size helps the pigment mix smoothly into epoxy and stay suspended while the resin cures, instead of settling to the bottom like some larger or heavier pigment particles can.
Indigo is especially useful when you want shimmer, movement, and a dark blue-purple colour in cured resin. Use a small amount for a more transparent indigo shimmer or add more pigment for a stronger, more saturated effect.
Suggested Projects
- Indigo epoxy pours: Use Indigo on its own for deep blue-purple resin projects with a mica shimmer.
- Galaxy resin art: Pair Indigo with black, white, silver, blue, violet, or colour shift pigments for night sky and space-inspired resin effects.
- River tables and epoxy inlays: Add indigo shimmer to cracks, voids, rivers, logos, and decorative woodworking accents.
- Jewel-tone resin art: Use with gold, black, blue, violet, peacock green, or turquoise-style pigments for rich decorative resin effects.
- Charcuterie boards and serving pieces: Use Indigo for darker blue-purple epoxy accents in boards, trays, and handmade gift projects.
- Custom pigment blends: Mix with blue, navy, violet, white, black, silver, teal, or purple tones to create custom midnight, galaxy, and jewel-tone effects.
How Much Pigment Should You Use?
A good starting point for Indigo mica powder is approximately 1/8 teaspoon per 1 litre of epoxy for a medium level of transparency. You can adjust from there depending on the colour strength, opacity, shimmer, and final effect you want.
For smaller batches, start with a small amount, mix thoroughly, and add more gradually. Mica powder can look different depending on lighting, background colour, epoxy depth, and the amount used, so testing a sample is recommended before committing to a larger project.
