Green Gold Colour Shift Mica Powder - Beaver Dust Pigments

Green Gold Colour Shift Beaver Dust Pigment is a colour shift mica powder designed to create an angle-changing effect in epoxy resin, resin art, woodworking projects, candles, soap making, and craft applications. Depending on the lighting, background colour, and viewing angle, this pigment can shift between green and gold tones for a dynamic finish that looks different as the project moves.

This pigment is a great choice when you want more movement and depth than a standard mica powder. Use it in epoxy resin pours, river tables, resin inlays, coasters, trays, turning blanks, decorative art, and craft projects where a green-to-gold colour shift effect can add extra visual interest.

Best Uses for Green Gold Colour Shift Mica Powder

• Epoxy resin art and fluid pours
• River tables, resin inlays, and woodworking projects
• Resin coasters, trays, charcuterie boards, and decorative accents
• Projects with dark backgrounds where colour shift pigments can stand out
• Green, gold, forest, fantasy, metallic, and nature-inspired colour palettes
• Candle making, soap making, and general craft projects

Why Colour Shift Pigments Are Different

Colour shift mica powder creates a changing effect based on the angle of light and the angle you view the project from. Instead of looking like one flat colour, Green Gold can show different green and gold tones across the surface of the epoxy or craft project.

Colour shift pigments often look strongest over darker backgrounds or in projects where the pigment has enough contrast to show its shifting effect. Testing a small sample first is the best way to see how the colour will behave 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.

Green Gold Colour Shift is especially useful when you want shimmer, movement, and a changing colour effect throughout cured resin. Use a small amount for a more transparent colour shift or add more pigment for a stronger, more saturated green-gold effect.

Suggested Projects

• River tables and epoxy inlays: Add a green-gold colour shift effect to clear, black, or tinted epoxy pours.
• Resin art: Use in abstract pours, geode-style pieces, wall art, and decorative resin designs.
• Woodturning blanks: Mix into epoxy for hybrid blanks where the colour changes as the piece turns in the light.
• Coasters and trays: Create handmade pieces with a shifting green-to-gold look that changes from different angles.
• Candles and soap: Test in your own wax or soap base to confirm the final colour, shimmer, and shift effect.

How Much Pigment Should You Use?

A good starting point for this colour shift pigment 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, transparency, shimmer, and shift effect you want.

For smaller batches, start with a small amount, mix thoroughly, and add more gradually. Colour shift pigments can change depending on lighting, background colour, and pour depth, so testing a sample is recommended before committing to a larger project.
