Coloring styles - what to expect

In general, silicone hand pouring is not an exact science. Results often depend on silicone firmness, weather -> temperature that affect "pot time" (how long silicone stays liquid before starting to harden and cure), the batch size, and for all I know, a goat sacrifice on a full-moon may be in order to get a triple vertical split right.

All that is to say, if you are extremely picky, you may be better off buying a premade toy because it's already done and you can see exactly what it looks like. I do my best to follow custom instructions but the result is always somewhat unpredictable.

Here are general guidelines on what you can expect, depending on firmness and coloring style you picked for your custom toy:

1) Fade coloring style

• fade = 2 or mode colors stacked horizontally on top of each other
• typically easy to replicate from inspo photos
• soft silicone = usually more blending of stacked colors, more gradual transition, some marbling in-between color transition
• medium firm silicone = usually less blending of the colors, so the color transition can be more harsh

 

2) Vertical split coloring style

• vertical split = 2 or more colors side-by-side vertically
• soft silicone = usually more straight the line between colors
• medium firm silicone =usually the silicone sort of "stacks" instead of pouring, so there can be sort of marble-y/feather-y effect between the colors
• 3 colors in a vertical split - typically, the middle color gets "eaten" by the front and back colors so it ends up as a thin line in between them - this is why we recommend a nice contrasting darker color for the middle color so that it's at least somewhat visible. I do not recommend this color combination unless you can live with a very unpredictable result of this style of coloring

3) Marble coloring style

• marble = mix of 2 or more colors in a marble-like effect
• soft silicone = usually looser marble due to high silicone viscosity
• medium firm silicone = usually tighter marble due to low silicone viscosity
• extremely hard to replicate from inspo photos, will always come out differently, especially if inspo was poured in different firmness
• 3 colors in a marble - typically, the pour goes like this: color A + B in a marble, transitioning into color B + C in a marble. Color A + C may meet somewhere in the middle, or may not - again, this may be a goat sacrifice type of situation to go exactly as planned

4) Mixed coloring style

• you can also request mixed coloring style, which is typically something like this:
  • fade + marble (one color on top fading into marble of 2 colors)
  • fade + split (one color on top fading into 2 vertically split colors)
  • split + fade (2 colors vertically split on top, fading into 1 color on the base)
  • any other combination
    
• some combinations are harder to nail, like marble + fade, as you can see below

Conclusion

Please don't hurt any goats, I seriously doubt it would help anything :D
