We&#8217;ll still mix them up on demand with a 50mL minimum on orders (or about $25). There is still the option for custom colors as well. If you visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/formlabs.com\/store\/materials\/color-kit\/\">Formlabs color page here<\/a> you can find a HEX code to supply us with. Custom colors will have a minimum of 150mL before we&#8217;ll mix them up.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>One important note with color mixing; while we do our best measuring the pigment before dying the resin base, sometimes the colors will come out looking a bit different than previous batches.
