How to Choose a Colorant

colorants reference chart

Can you imagine a world without color? Color allows us to add a dimension of
customization to our projects that express our individual styles. We have enjoyed seeing all of our customers’ colorants skills on display via social media over the past year. It’s inspiring to see how these products come to life and their applications across various genres of art.

FGH’s colorants come in all shades and sizes. Not all are created equal and we carry a large range of options since in this case, one product doesn’t fit all. Do I buy tint or pigment, what’s the difference? How do the paint pens work? Can I make my own gel coat colors by mixing ones you have in stock? What the heck is paua shell? We get these questions daily and the answers are specific to each customer’s project.
