• River tables, resin inlays, and woodworking accents
• Silver grey, smoke, concrete, stone, graphite, storm grey, and industrial-style resin projects

Why Silver Grey Is a Useful Pigment Colour

Silver Grey is a useful mica powder colour when you want a neutral pigment that feels darker, smokier, and more grounded than silver pearl or white. It works well in concrete-style resin art, modern river tables, smoky grey epoxy inlays, black-and-grey designs, industrial-style trays, coasters, and woodworking projects where you want metallic movement without a bright colour.

This colour pairs well with black pearl, white, silver pearl, gun metal grey, blue, Caribbean blue, gold, copper, ruby red, clear epoxy, walnut, white oak, ash, olive wood, and other natural wood tones. It can also be blended with other pigments to create graphite, smoke, storm grey, stone, charcoal-silver, and softer metallic effects. Testing a small sample first is recommended so you can see how Silver Grey looks in your exact epoxy, 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.

Silver Grey Beaver Dust Pigment is especially useful when you want a smoky neutral colour that still adds shimmer and movement to cured resin. Use a small amount for a lighter translucent grey shimmer or add more pigment for a stronger, darker silver-grey effect.

Suggested Projects

• Smoky grey epoxy pours: Use Silver Grey on its own for modern resin art, coasters, trays, and decorative accents.
• Concrete and stone-inspired projects: Pair Silver Grey with white, black pearl, gun metal grey, or clear epoxy for stone, marble, concrete, and smoke-style movement.
• Coasters and sample pours: Use small silicone molds to test Silver Grey, compare pigment amounts, and make finished coaster-style projects.
• Modern river tables: Pair Silver Grey with walnut, white oak, ash, olive wood, or live edge slabs for a clean neutral epoxy river.
• Epoxy inlays and void fills: Add smoky grey shimmer to cracks, voids, carved details, logos, and decorative woodworking accents.
• Custom pigment blends: Mix Silver Grey with black pearl, white, silver pearl, gun metal grey, blue, gold, copper, or clear epoxy to create custom smoke, graphite, storm grey, silver-black, and industrial metallic effects.

How Much Pigment Should You Use?

A good starting point for Silver Grey 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. Grey pigments can look different depending on lighting, background colour, epoxy depth, wood tone, and the amount used, so testing a sample is recommended before committing to a larger project.
