Orange Mica Powder - Beaver Dust Pigments

Orange Beaver Dust Pigment is a bold orange mica powder designed for epoxy resin, resin art, woodworking projects, candles, soap making, and craft applications. This pigment creates a strong orange shimmer, making it a great choice for projects where you want a warm, energetic colour with movement, depth, and a pearlescent mica effect.

Use Orange in epoxy pours, river tables, resin inlays, coasters, trays, charcuterie boards, decorative art, sunset-inspired resin pieces, autumn-style projects, Halloween projects, and handmade gifts. It can be used on its own for a bright orange shimmer or blended with other Beaver Dust Pigments to create custom amber, copper-orange, coral, pumpkin, sunset, fire, or warm metallic-style effects.

Best Uses for Orange Mica Powder

• Epoxy resin art and fluid pours
• River tables, resin inlays, and woodworking projects
• Sunset, autumn, orange, amber, pumpkin, and warm-tone epoxy projects
• Halloween, fall, seasonal, and themed craft projects
• Charcuterie boards, serving boards, trays, and decorative accents
• Candle making, soap making, and general craft projects

Why Orange Is a Useful Pigment Colour

Orange is a useful mica powder colour when you want a pigment that feels warmer and bolder than light orange, coral, bronze, or brown. It can work well in sunset-style resin art, autumn colour palettes, warm decorative pours, handmade trays, coasters, and woodworking projects where you want a strong colour accent that still pairs nicely with natural wood grain.

This colour works well in clear epoxy, tinted resin, white pearl blends, gold and copper colour palettes, natural wood projects, darker backgrounds, seasonal colour combinations, and warm decorative pours. Testing a small sample first is the best way to see how the Orange 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.

Orange is especially useful when you want shimmer, movement, and a bold warm colour in cured resin. Use a small amount for a more transparent orange shimmer or add more pigment for a stronger, more saturated orange effect.

Suggested Projects

• Orange epoxy pours: Use Orange on its own for bold warm resin projects with a pearlescent mica shimmer.
• Sunset-inspired resin art: Pair Orange with red, yellow, coral, gold, bronze, or white pigments for warm sunset-style effects.
• Autumn-style epoxy projects: Use with copper, bronze, brown, red, gold, or olive yellow pigments for seasonal colour palettes.
• River tables and epoxy inlays: Add orange shimmer to cracks, voids, rivers, logos, and decorative woodworking accents.
• Charcuterie boards and serving pieces: Use Orange for bold warm epoxy accents in boards, trays, and handmade gift projects.
• Custom pigment blends: Mix with white, coral, red, yellow, gold, copper, bronze, brown, or black tones to create custom amber, pumpkin, sunset, fire, and metallic-style effects.

How Much Pigment Should You Use?

A good starting point for Orange 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.
