Rainbow Blue Mica Powder - Beaver Dust Pigments

Rainbow Blue Beaver Dust Pigment is a bright blue mica powder designed for epoxy resin, resin art, woodworking projects, candles, soap making, and craft applications. This pigment creates a vibrant blue shimmer, making it a strong choice for projects where you want a colourful blue effect with movement, depth, and a pearlescent mica finish.

Use Rainbow Blue in epoxy pours, river tables, resin inlays, coasters, trays, charcuterie boards, decorative art, ocean-inspired resin pieces, and handmade gifts. It can be used on its own for a bright blue shimmer or blended with other Beaver Dust Pigments to create custom ocean, turquoise, teal, sky blue, blue-green, or jewel-tone effects.

Best Uses for Rainbow Blue Mica Powder

• Epoxy resin art and fluid pours
• River tables, resin inlays, and woodworking projects
• Ocean, water, blue, teal, turquoise, and coastal-style epoxy projects
• Bright resin coasters, trays, charcuterie boards, and decorative accents
• Resin jewelry, keychains, ornaments, and small craft projects
• Candle making, soap making, and general craft projects

Why Rainbow Blue Is a Useful Pigment Colour

Rainbow Blue is a useful mica powder colour when you want a bright blue pigment that feels lively, colourful, and easy to build into water-inspired or decorative resin projects. It can work well as the main colour in a pour or as one part of a larger blue, teal, white, and clear epoxy colour palette.

This colour works well in clear epoxy, tinted resin, coastal-style pours, lighter colour blends, darker backgrounds, and natural wood projects. Testing a small sample first is the best way to see how the blue 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.

Rainbow Blue is especially useful when you want shimmer, movement, and a bright blue colour in cured resin. Use a small amount for a more transparent blue shimmer or add more pigment for a stronger, more saturated blue effect.

Suggested Projects

• Bright blue epoxy pours: Use Rainbow Blue on its own for colourful blue resin projects with a mica shimmer.
• Ocean-inspired epoxy projects: Pair Rainbow Blue with white, Caribbean, blue green, clear, teal, or dark blue pigments for water-style resin effects.
• River tables and epoxy inlays: Add bright blue shimmer to cracks, voids, rivers, logos, and decorative woodworking accents.
• Resin coasters and trays: Create handmade pieces with a colourful blue shimmer and depth.
• Charcuterie boards and serving pieces: Use Rainbow Blue for bright epoxy accents in boards, trays, and handmade gift projects.
• Custom pigment blends: Mix with white, blue green, teal, navy, dark blue, silver, or Caribbean tones to create custom ocean, lagoon, and blue-based effects.

How Much Pigment Should You Use?

A good starting point for Rainbow Blue 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.
