Flamingo Red. A rich neon that blazes under UV light.
Flamingo Red is a radiant red-pink pigment from the Neon Series that gives projects a vivid and eye-catching look. This colour is a great choice for anyone looking for a bold shade that can highlight every detail. The popular Flamingo Red mica powder suits a wide range of DIY projects, from epoxy resin and wooden decorations to cosmetics and jewellery.
One pigment, four crafts.
Mica doesn't argue with the material — the same jar colours epoxy, soap base, wax and acrylic medium.
Resin: river tables, jewellery, pen blanks
0.5–1 g/kg for a translucent effect, ~3 g/kg for a full pearl. 1-5 μm particles stay evenly dispersed in the mix.
Soaps & candles
CP soap: 2 teaspoons per 450 g of oils. MP base: ½ teaspoon per 450 g. Candles: 5–10 % of the wax weight.
Acrylic pouring
~1 teaspoon per batch of pouring medium; disperse the pigment in varnish first. Also suitable for plastisol (fishing lures). The manufacturer does NOT recommend it for car paints — low UV resistance.

Frequently asked questions
How much pigment should I add to epoxy?
From our hands-on practice: 0.5–1 g per kg of mix for a translucent effect (river, sea water), ~3 g/kg for full colour, 5 g/kg for opaque coverage. Always mix it into a small amount of resin first, then into the rest.
Will the pigment sink in a deep pour?
Flamingo Red has 1-5 μm particles that stay evenly dispersed in the mix. Only coarse pigments with 200–700 μm particles (e.g. flakes) can sink — letting the resin thicken slightly or stirring the mix during the process helps.
Which resin is it suitable for?
Any epoxy resin. For crystal-clear castings in which the pearl stands out, we recommend the systems DIPON LuminaCast — Ocean Flow for river tables, Gem Flow for jewellery.
Does the neon pigment glow in the dark on its own?
No — neon UV pigments are not photoluminescent. In daylight they give a rich neon colour and under a UV (black light) lamp they glow intensely; in complete darkness without a UV source they do not glow. For glowing in the dark, go for the Glow in the dark series.
Where does neon stand out most?
In clear resin, on a light background and anywhere UV light reaches — bars, party decorations, fishing lures or safety features.
Is it suitable for car paint?
No — for this series the manufacturer explicitly advises against use in car paints ("DO NOT USE"): the pigments have low UV resistance. For car paints, go for the Solid Pearls pearlescent series or the Colorshift and Ultrashift series.
