    Bakelite is a sort of semi-translucent, isn't it? In that case, I
    might use a combination of pure pigment, in the color of your choice,
    and a bit of ground up oil pastel crayon in a matching color. I like
    to use oil pastels in epoxy because they are readily available and
    come in brilliant colors. They add opacity, though. I'm not expert and
    don't have extensive experience, but it seems that the pure pigments
    result in a clearer color. So, using mostly pure pigment with just a
    pinch of pastel crayon might give you what you want.
