Anybody have a source for solid color (acrylic) pen blanks? I'm specifically looking for yellow, red and green. Appears green is the hard one to find.

I'm assuming you have already checked the usual vendors. I do not normally do color casting but I'm sure that there are many on here that do. If no one else can help you out let me know and I'll help you out with that.

Saw red and yellow in the bargain bin at Woodcraft yesterday. Doesn't help you but they are out there.

Exotic Blanks has a "football" themed section with solid colors IIRC but takes a bit to find the category.

Hey Ted I can help you out if you want to send me a direct message.
The best selection of solid-color blanks that I know if is Beaufort:
www.beaufortink.co.uk
They are not the best price (especially if you need them shipped to the US), but their selection is wider than any other I know of. There are a few shades of green.
Another place I have (at least in the past) found good solid color blanks is BearToothWoods:
Sadly, his site is exceptionally slow, and he does not have a solid-color category, and the names are not just "solid red" or "solid green", so you kind of have to hunt for them. Which, usually, ends up in frustration due to how slow his site is. But he does actually have the next best range of solid-color blanks as far as I know.

Solid color blanks are the easiest to make. If you know anyone who casts near you, I'm sure they could make them. There's no worry of temperature or swirling, just mix and pour. If you can't find anyone local or available let me know and I can fit a few pours in my schedule.

I do a fair bit of casting and sell blanks on FB and IG @kevinzogg. Single solid colors are indeed super easy to make. I cast rods that are 3/4" x 6-12" long. I'm more than happy to help you out. If you have casting supplies, I can help you do it yourself too. Accent blanks are a great first casting project!
