Navy Blue Beaver Dust Pigment is a deep blue mica powder designed for epoxy resin, resin art, woodworking projects, candles, soap making, and craft applications. This pigment creates a rich navy-blue shimmer, making it a strong choice for projects where you want a darker blue colour with depth, movement, and a more refined look than a bright blue pigment.
Use Navy 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 deep blue shimmer or blended with other Beaver Dust Pigments to create custom navy, midnight blue, ocean, stormy water, galaxy, or jewel-tone effects.
Best Uses for Navy Blue Mica Powder
- Epoxy resin art and fluid pours
- River tables, resin inlays, and woodworking projects
- Ocean, water, navy, midnight blue, and deep blue epoxy projects
- Galaxy, night sky, and dark jewel-tone resin art
- Charcuterie boards, serving boards, trays, and decorative accents
- Candle making, soap making, and general craft projects
Why Navy Blue Is a Useful Pigment Colour
Navy Blue is a versatile colour for makers because it can add depth without being as harsh as black. It works well in river tables, ocean-style resin art, darker decorative pours, and projects where you want a strong blue tone that still feels clean and polished.
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 navy 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.
Navy Blue is especially useful when you want shimmer, movement, and depth in cured resin. Use a small amount for a more transparent dark blue shimmer or add more pigment for a stronger, more saturated navy blue effect.
Suggested Projects
- Deep blue epoxy pours: Use Navy Blue on its own for rich blue resin projects with a darker, more polished finish.
- Ocean-inspired epoxy projects: Pair Navy Blue with blue, Caribbean, white, teal, or clear epoxy for deeper water-style resin effects.
- Galaxy resin art: Use with black, white, silver, violet, or colour shift pigments for night sky and space-inspired resin effects.
- River tables and epoxy inlays: Add navy blue shimmer to cracks, voids, rivers, logos, and decorative woodworking accents.
- Charcuterie boards and serving pieces: Use Navy Blue for refined epoxy accents in boards, trays, and handmade gift projects.
- Custom pigment blends: Mix with blue, black, white, silver, teal, violet, or Caribbean tones to create custom ocean, midnight, and jewel-tone effects.
How Much Pigment Should You Use?
A good starting point for Navy 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.
