Introducing Kabosu Green, a fascinating green pigment enriched with subtle golden undertones. This versatile colour element adds another dimension to your projects and lets them stand out with elegance. With this colour, every piece you make gains a unique and enchanting character.
One pigment, four crafts.
Mica doesn't argue with the material — the same jar colours epoxy, soap base, wax and lacquer.

Beautiful green — „The hummingbird really shone — Kabosu, Ajisai Blue, Okinawa Blue and Periwinkle Purple brushed on and covered with white.“
Misti JonesWonderful pigment! — „I used it in a pour painting and it was wonderful — a beautiful colour with a gold shift, and it doesn't bleed like some other pigments. It thrilled me so much that I bought more colours. They're all excellent. And nicely large packs for the price.“

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?
Kabosu Green has 10-60 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 Kabosu Green glow in the dark?
No — it is a classic pearl (Solid Pearl). If you are looking for a glow effect, go for the series Glow in the dark, and for a glow under a UV lamp, for the Neon UV series.
