- How to combine colors for seasonal palettes.
So grab your epoxy, your heat gun, and let's dive into the colors of the season.
Why Pigment Choice Matters in Epoxy Resin Projects
Color isn't just an afterthought in epoxy - it's the feature. The shade you choose sets the entire mood of your piece: warm and rustic, sleek and modern, or bold and dramatic.
When it comes to fall, pigments do more than decorate. They can:
- Capture the season's natural palette: Think fiery leaves, golden fields, and earthy wood grains.
- Elevate functional pieces: A burnt orange or copper-tinted board looks right at home under pumpkin pie.
- Create depth and dimension: Eye Candy's mica pigments have that shimmer effect that makes epoxy pours look alive.
Because Eye Candy pigments are finely milled and highly concentrated, they blend seamlessly with Promise Epoxy resins, giving you bold color without clumping or dullness.
Top Eye Candy Pigment Colors for Fall
Here are some of the most fall-worthy Eye Candy pigments to stock up on right now.
1. Tiger Orange
This one's the definition of autumn. It's bold, fiery, and instantly calls to mind crunchy leaves underfoot. Perfect for accent streaks in river tables, statement jewelry, or drink coasters.
Best project match: Charcuterie boards - imagine that vibrant orange running through a live edge wood slab.
2. Golda Gold
Nothing says fall like gold tones. Golda Gold is rich, warm, and metallic - like golden hour bottled up. It pairs beautifully with darker shades and is great for adding highlights.
Best project match: Accent lines in a deep pour table or lettering in custom resin signs.
3. Akai Tsuki Red
This pigment is fall leaves in a jar. It's got depth, a little shimmer, and a richness that works well as a base or accent color.
Best project match: Jewelry or keychains - carry a little piece of fall with you.
4. Bushido Brown
Fall isn't all fire tones - you need grounding colors too. Bushido Brown brings that earthy warmth that balances brighter pigments. Use it to tone down a piece and add depth.
Best project match: Tabletops and serving trays.
5. Penny Copper
Copper shades are staples in fall epoxy projects. Eye Candy's Penny Copper has metallic brilliance that catches light in the best way.
Best project match: River tables or bar tops where you want a luxe autumn vibe.
6. Ronin Black
Every bold color needs contrast, and Ronin Black delivers. This deep black pigment brings out the brightness in oranges, reds, and golds while adding drama.
Best project match: Abstract resin art or bold tabletops.
How to Create Fall Color Palettes with Epoxy Pigments
One pigment is good. A palette is better. Here's how to mix and match Eye Candy shades for fall projects:

Tips for Using Eye Candy Pigments with Promise Epoxy
- Start small: A little goes a long way - Eye Candy pigments are highly concentrated.
- Mix thoroughly: Use a stir stick or drill mixer to ensure pigments fully disperse.
- Play with layering: Pour different colors in stages to create depth.
- Test your ratios: Create small samples before committing to a large piece.
- Seal natural inclusions: If embedding leaves, flowers, or wood, make sure they're fully sealed to prevent bubbles.
