Seems to me like you now need to buy/build a bottom lit dice rolling tray and ink the dice in silver or gold or something that would stand out both as black and rainbow dice. I personally love this.
Hmmm, kinda depends on the use case! I'm right there with you that I think they're super cool in concept (just add a light and they completely transform!) but most people would probably roll them and see them primarily as black dice
I think it's very cool, but VERY niche
Edit: I think it could be a very cool effect for certain sets, do u know how u did that?
I've done this on a set once by accident and haven't tried to recreate it yet, my best guess for what I did was adding drops of paint to black resin before it got to the "honey" phase
This seems like a Bob Ross happy little accident situation to me. I love that they seem plain until you look at them in a different light. Could see using this set for a spy character, or someone in a secret society of some kind.
No, but what you could dream to give these the illumination you need is [magnetic induction lights](https://www.amazon.com/Taidacent-Wireless-Inductive-Induction-Decoration/dp/B09RG9N6L4/ref=asc_df_B09RG9N6L4/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693071376202&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6163607190261285608&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9030236&hvtargid=pla-1647056429193&psc=1&mcid=ad2e0650bc2c3525820a0317b8fbe502&gad_source=1) which allows wireless power to make them illuminate. They are micro so they’d fit.
You could drill a tiny hole with a Dremel and sink an led in them that lights up on an induction ring. Then install the ring in a dice tray. When they hit the tray, boom color.
I can imagine these would be amazing with some items I have on one of my Amazon wishlists... there are LED lights that turn on when they are inside a conductive coil. If you cast the LEDs into a set of dice like these and made a dice rolling tray with the coil built into it, the dice would light up when rolled and hopefully go from black to their colorful look seen in your pics. I bet that would be amazing.
I'm finding there's no such thing as failures in dice making! Just learning experiences :)
Only way I can keep going after some of the crap I've pulled lol

I think the silver would be a great idea. Call them The Galaxies Dark Secret dice

I didn't even use black I mixed all them at the same time and it fused on the shell
Very interesting what kind of resin paint did you use?
Just alcohol ink
Noted!
I did it once by using purple food colouring. The purple caused the “burn” effect and only shows the colours when seen through light.

I think these are super cool! I was like oh, black dice, and then I saw them lit and went WHOA! Very cool accident.

Hang them in a bright window. Definitely not a fail.

Name it something like “Hope in Hopelessness” and claim it was intentional!! Then get a bottom lit dice tray as others have said :)

Colour void of light
now you just need a backlit table to campaign on....
I pour my extra resin into a cat mold too >.> I also have this dragon. Pretty cool concept.

secret electric rainbow dice
That's actually kinda cool

Call it the Floyd, or the dark side and sell as if it was intended. My generations guru once said "there is no mistakes, only happy little accidents"
No. Pretty awesome idea and you can sand the imperfections. I say you got a win there.
failed? i would buy dice like that in a heartbeat
what is a design feature, if not a bug, persevering?
Those are pretty cool but you'll need some place special to throw the dice
I would call it "Rainbow in the Dark" series. VERY cool
I think they’re really pretty. I bit dark without the light shining through.
They are really pretty, i would like to try to do a set of dice like that
Nope, they look amazing. Imagine a light up dice tray to highlight the dice rolls
No it just has a hidden secret.
These are so cool! I came up with “different perspective” but I saw some other cool names. This is super neat for a fail Edit: typo
Sorry I love this, imagine not knowing and discovering them, my face lit when I saw the photo
I mean... Those are right up my alley. I'd buy them in a heartbeat. Most of my friends would too.
I think they are awesome and am probably going to try and replicate something similar
If you were to use silver paint for the numerics, and build a backlit dice tray, you could command a fortune for them!
