Ocean Blue Beaver Dust Pigment is a blue mica powder designed for epoxy resin, resin art, woodworking projects, candles, soap making, and craft applications. This pigment creates a rich ocean-blue shimmer, making it a strong choice for projects where you want a water-inspired blue colour with movement, depth, and a pearlescent mica effect.
Use Ocean Blue in epoxy pours, river tables, resin inlays, coasters, trays, charcuterie boards, decorative art, coastal-style resin pieces, and handmade gifts. It can be used on its own for a blue ocean shimmer or blended with other Beaver Dust Pigments to create custom teal, turquoise, deep water, lagoon, Caribbean, or coastal blue effects.

- River tables, resin inlays, and woodworking projects

Why Ocean Blue Is a Useful Pigment Colour
Ocean Blue is a useful mica powder colour when you want a blue pigment that naturally fits water-inspired resin work. It can be used for ocean wave effects, river table pours, coastal-style trays, beach-themed resin art, and projects where you want a blue shimmer that feels clean, calm, and dimensional.
This colour works well in clear epoxy, tinted resin, coastal-style pours, white pearl effects, darker blue blends, teal colour palettes, and natural wood projects. Testing a small sample first is the best way to see how the Ocean 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.
Ocean Blue is especially useful when you want shimmer, movement, and a water-inspired blue colour in cured resin. Use a small amount for a more transparent ocean-blue shimmer or add more pigment for a stronger, more saturated blue effect.
Suggested Projects
- Ocean-inspired epoxy projects: Pair Ocean Blue with white, Caribbean, blue green, clear, teal, or dark blue pigments for water-style resin effects.
- Ocean wave effects: Use Ocean Blue with white mica powder for foam details, wave movement, and coastal-style epoxy pours.
- River tables and epoxy inlays: Add ocean-blue shimmer to cracks, voids, rivers, logos, and decorative woodworking accents.
- Resin coasters and trays: Create handmade pieces with a blue water-inspired shimmer and depth.
- Charcuterie boards and serving pieces: Use Ocean Blue for coastal-style epoxy accents in boards, trays, and handmade gift projects.
- Custom pigment blends: Mix with white, blue green, teal, navy, dark blue, silver, or Caribbean tones to create custom ocean, lagoon, and coastal blue effects.
How Much Pigment Should You Use?
A good starting point for Ocean 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.
