Bears chartreuse#1 Bob. I have put over 100 drops in 1/2 oz and still transparent. Orange that way too. A lot of his colors you have to put a couple drops of white in to make them solid.
I could be wrong but I do not think there is one.
In the past on some of the suppliers and I visited they had a transparent red transparent purple transparent orange in the list does go on I just can't remember who had those for sale.
I will check bear out.Quote:

Just to elaborate a little further on the bears colors, I had a time for a while figuring his out because I could not get solid colors. Had to always drop in a couple drops of white to get it. I make a blaze orange out of his Orange and put 300 drops in and still could not get it solid. Put in couple drops of white and 20 drops of chartreuse #3 and did the trick. Solid Blaze Orange. Blues purples and greens not as bad but still have to dump 60 to 80 drops to get a darker/transparent true color. Still can't get solid without the white.CF
Those colours that he was selling were from Spike It, he would just buy the paste pigment and cut it with plasticizer as most resellers do. The difference is he would mix it down quite far to maximize his return on the pigment. Spike it quit selling everything except flake to resellers a few years ago and this is why you see the "New Colorants" section, he had to find a new supplier. Now, all the old colours that he used to have are available from Spike it direct, they mix them a lot stronger too. On top of that they have a thicker medium that they mix the pigments with making settling less of an issue. Take a look and you will notice a drastic difference in how much colourant is needed.Quote:

Dyes will actually dye the plastic they are added to making a VERY transparent product. The trade off is they bleed. A pigment uses minute particles suspended in the plastic to obtain the colour desired, there fore they will be far less transparent - opaque but, they have very minimal - no bleeding.
Thank you for the information .Quote:
