 This was all scrap plastic so its hard to tell you exactly, It started with X2 midnight blue plastic I had left over, maybe 1-2 drops in 4oz, then that plastic was chopped up and a small amount of fresh plastic was added. Midnight blue is a very strong color, but if you add a few chunks of plastic you already made to fresh plastic you can get a very clear color.

This applies to just about all of the X2 colorants. If I want a true transparent color, I mix and cook an original, let it cool to hard then do exactly what DF is doing here and the colors are superbly transparent.
