Here are the best liquid resin dyes for epoxy or UV resin. If you love adding bright color to your resin art, liquid resin dyes are a fun and easy way to do it. These dyes mix fast, blend smooth, and give you rich shades that stand out in any project. Today I am sharing the best liquid resin dyes that work well for beginners and for crafters who have been making resin pieces for a while. This list will help you pick the right resin dye for your next craft day.

I still remember the first time I tried liquid resin dye. I added just one drop, and the color was so bold that I could not stop smiling. Stirring dyes into resin is my favorite part and over the years I have used a ton of different brands. Let’s go through this list together to find your perfect liquid dyes for your resin things.

Best Liquid Resin Dyes

I love testing new colors, so putting this list together was really fun for me. I want this list to save you time so that you can’t wait to get back to your art room to make resin creations. These dyes are easy to use, blend well, and give your resin bright and smooth color. Each one has its own look, from soft shades to bold tones that pop. I picked these dyes because they work well for jewelry, trays, keychains, and casting dye.

1. Let’s Resin Ocean White

This is the epoxy dye to use to make lacy ocean waves on resin boards and coasters. It mixes easily and creates smooth, flowing wave patterns. You can layer it with white or clear resin to get the signature lacy look. Just a few drops go a long way for multiple pieces.

2. Rolio Transparent Liquid Pigments

These translucent resin dyes will give you transparent color in resin projects. The colors mix smoothly and stay vibrant without clouding your resin. Rolio pigments work well for jewelry, coasters, and small crafts. I’ve worked with this brand before and also love their pastes and have a Rolio pigment paste review if you want to see how those look. A few drops give strong color, so you don’t need much for each piece.

3. Rolio Pearlescent Colors

Rolio also has a set of pearl colors to use when you want a soft, pearly finish in your resin. They mix easily and add shimmer that catches the light beautifully. Perfect for jewelry, coasters, or decorative pieces that need a subtle glow. A little goes a long way, making it easy to get just the right pearlescent effect.

4. Let’s Resin Opaque Color Set

Use this set for solid, bold colors in resin projects. The colors mix smoothly and fully cover your pieces without being see through. Great for coasters, trays, and any project where you want bright, even color. You get lots of shades to mix and match for different effects.

5. Black Liquid Resin Dye

Use this dye when you need a deep black that is completely solid. It mixes easily and gives full coverage without streaks. Just a small amount is enough to get a rich, opaque color. I love this for adding streaks to river tables. Another way to use this is to mix it into the resin, pour it, and then mix in a line of gold glitter. Another brand of black that is popular is the Alumilite black dye.

6. Gold Liquid Resin Dye

Use this paste to add shiny gold details to resin projects. It’s great for painting veins in geode coasters or river tables, swirling into clear resin for marble effects, or highlighting areas on jewelry pieces. You can also drop small amounts to create metallic streaks or patterns. If you like the look of gold, here is a list of the best gold colorants for epoxy.

7. Metallic Liquid Dye Set

Let’s Resin has some of my favorite resin supplies to use in their Amazon store. Use this set to get a full range of metallic shades in liquid form. It’s great for painting veins in geode coasters, swirling for marble effects, or adding metallic streaks to jewelry and decorative pieces. You get 24 colors, from gold and rose gold to copper and bronze, so there’s plenty to mix and match.

8. Alcohol Ink Dye Set

Alcohol inks add vibrant, flowing color to resin projects. You can create marbled coasters, abstract jewelry pieces, or bright accents in trays and keychains. Just be careful because alcohol inks can fade over time, especially in sunlight, so they’re best for pieces that stay out of direct light.

9. Jacquard Pinata Alcohol Ink

How fun would this set be to play with in resin projects? You get white, silver, pearl, gold, brass, and copper to add metallic shimmer, streaks, or soft highlights. Jacquard is a popular brand and they have some of the top selling inks. These inks can be layered or blended into epoxy or UV resin. I have a helpful list of the best alcohol inks if you want to try this look.

10. 48 Color Dye Kit

This budget friendly set is full of bright and bold liquid colors to experiment with in resin projects. You get 48 shades to mix, layer, or swirl for keychains, phone cases, wall art, and more. I love how you can get so many colors in one set and then you can also mix them together to create you own color combo’s.

11. Teexpert Pigment Dye

This is a top selling liquid dye that’s great for adding rich color to resin projects. It mixes smoothly for pretty much any kind of epoxy or UV resin craft. The colors are vibrant and easy to blend. This brand has a full on epoxy store so you can shop for lots of things to add to your resin, including resin and UV resin too.

If you want deep color, smooth blends, and easy mixing, these liquid resin dyes are some of the best tools for your craft room. They add bright shades, soft pastels, or bold jewel tones to any resin project. I hope this list helps you find a resin coloring dye that fits your style.
