Color for resin casting

[kawaii_atashi]

I've got another question about casting resin. How do you get a good emerald green? The colors that come in the kit make every other color reaaaally well, except green. Any ideas? I tried food color but it's like putting oil in water. Thanks in advance!! ^_^

you have a few options, if you need it translucent you can use ink

if that doesn't matter and it can be opaque
auto stores like pep boys sell a brand of paint tint called "all tints", they can be used for tinting resin

oil paints can work too

I'd go with specialized pigments.
