Ultramarine Blue Beaver Dust Pigment is a rich blue mica powder designed for epoxy resin, resin art, woodworking projects, candles, soap making, and craft applications. This pigment creates a bold ultramarine blue shimmer, making it a strong choice for projects where you want a saturated blue colour with depth, movement, and a pearlescent mica effect.
Use Ultramarine Blue in epoxy pours, river tables, resin inlays, coasters, trays, charcuterie boards, decorative art, ocean-inspired resin pieces, galaxy-style projects, and handmade gifts. It can be used on its own for a strong blue shimmer or blended with other Beaver Dust Pigments to create custom ocean, cobalt, navy, teal, galaxy, or jewel-tone effects.
Best Uses for Ultramarine Blue Mica Powder
- Epoxy resin art and fluid pours
- River tables, resin inlays, and woodworking projects
- Ocean, water, ultramarine, cobalt, and deep blue epoxy projects
- Galaxy, night sky, and jewel-tone resin art
- Charcuterie boards, serving boards, trays, and decorative accents
- Candle making, soap making, and general craft projects
Why Ultramarine Blue Is a Useful Pigment Colour
Ultramarine Blue is a strong blue pigment colour that works well when you want more intensity than a soft blue but not the darkness of navy or black. It can be used for ocean-style resin art, river table pours, bold decorative accents, and projects where a rich blue shimmer is the main feature.
This colour works well in clear epoxy, tinted resin, coastal-style pours, galaxy-style projects, darker backgrounds, lighter pearl blends, and natural wood projects. Testing a small sample first is the best way to see how the ultramarine 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.
Ultramarine Blue is especially useful when you want shimmer, movement, and a saturated blue colour in cured resin. Use a small amount for a more transparent blue shimmer or add more pigment for a stronger, more opaque ultramarine effect.
Suggested Projects
- Ultramarine blue epoxy pours: Use Ultramarine Blue on its own for rich blue resin projects with a bold mica shimmer.
- Ocean-inspired epoxy projects: Pair Ultramarine Blue with white, Caribbean, blue green, clear, teal, or dark blue pigments for water-style resin effects.
- River tables and epoxy inlays: Add rich blue shimmer to cracks, voids, rivers, logos, and decorative woodworking accents.
- Galaxy resin art: Use with black, white, silver, violet, or colour shift pigments for night sky and space-inspired resin effects.
- Charcuterie boards and serving pieces: Use Ultramarine Blue for bold epoxy accents in boards, trays, and handmade gift projects.
- Custom pigment blends: Mix with blue, navy, dark blue, white, silver, teal, violet, or Caribbean tones to create custom ocean, cobalt, and jewel-tone effects.
How Much Pigment Should You Use?
A good starting point for Ultramarine 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.
